Berry Head was used as an extensive Iron Age hill fort but a lot of the evidence of this was destroyed in the construction of a Napoleonic naval fort between 1794 and 1804. Much of this is still visible plus the addition of look out points from the world wars.
The views from here over Tor Bay and across the channel are massive.
