    Hiking

    The settlement consists of a cluster of 13th century stone longhouses – in which the family lived at one end and the animals at the other – on land that was originally farmed in the Bronze Age. Hound Tor was probably deserted in the early 15th century.

    Hiking

    Hound Tor medieval village consists of a cluster of 13th century stone longhouses and was probably deserted some time in the 16th century. These days, the atmospheric remains are a fantastic place to explore. It is very strange to imagine a family and their animals living life in this desolate location hundreds of years ago.
