History & Culture
Norman era defences and Napoleonic heritage mean that Devon is an area that’s steeped in history throughout the ages.
The stunning, eerie ruins of Okehampton Castle, built in 1068, set amongst a forest by the River Okement, are a must-visit for both history buffs and fans of the supernatural - as the ruins are allegedly haunted!
Further south, Dartmouth Castle’s Napoleonic era defences are now an idyllic spot, perfect for a day out exploring the area.
