St Michael de Rupe is an iconic landmark. Founded in 1130, it’s the fourth smallest parish church in the UK and is believed to be the highest working church in England. The church stands at 1,110 (338 m) feet on an extinct volcanic cone. You get spellbinding views from the churchyard, which stretch over Dartmoor, Plymouth Sound, Bodmin Moor and the heights of Exmoor. St Michael’s is Grade I-listed.
