Make your Bakewell Slice last at the cafe. £3.80 and its a two-chomper :-)

The "last castle in England" was only completed in 1930. It's something completely different and although it's not (yet) picturesquely dilapidated, it offers many interesting insights into life between the wars. Lovingly looked after by the National Trust and definitely worth a visit.

Great little place to visit. It's an English Heritage Site so free entry for members.

Couple of shops but no cafe.

Dartmouth Castle was built in 1388 to protect the rich town's harbour against French raids. About a hundred years later the walls were strengthened, and the gun tower was added. This was the first coastal artillery installation in the UK. The castle was updated in the mid 1600s for the English civil war. It's been updated several times since then, and was used in the first and second world war. Today the castle is managed by English Heritage, it's open for visitors every day from 10:00 - 17:00. It's paid entry unless you're an English Heritage member.

Hemyock is the largest village within the Blackdown Hills Area of Natural Beauty in Somerset. The village features a number of fascinating historic buildings, including a medieval castle, an Elizabethan chapel, a church that dates back to Norman times, and a pub that's been established since 1740!

Beautiful gardens all year round and not far from the river Dart.

Dipped in her for lunch as its nice a sheltered

Excellent pizza and undercover, outdoor seating at the Castle Inn! No issues taking our bikes into the garden.

Totnes Castle is a classic Norman motte and bailey. It's perched on a hill above the town where it would have commanded the area and the important inland harbour of the River Dart. The castle was originally an earth and timber construction. The first stone castle was built in the 13th century and then re-built as you see it today. Managed by English Heritage there is an entry fee if you're not a member but the views from the walls are well worth it.

High up in Hembury Woods is Hembury Castle. Not just an Iron Age Hillfort but also a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle which was built into the fort. It is known locally as Danes Camp, perhaps due to a legendary viking invasion. The Danes sailed up the River Dart and attacked the hillfort, capturing both the fort and the women who lived there. When the vikings fell into a slumber, they were killed by the women and the danes ousted. It is a great place to visit with children to combine history with nature. There is plenty of carparking at Hembury Woods and short walks up to the castle or longer tracing the River Dart.

Gnarly track through the woods - there are a few stream crossings to negotiate too.

Dartmouth Castle is over 600 years old and perches beautifully on the clifftops overlooking the Dart Estuary. The castle is open to visitors and has plenty to see inside and out.

Hemyock, on the River Culm, is the largest village in the Blackdown Hills AONB. A settlement can be traced here right back to 100BC and it has a history of iron smelting. Here you can find a Norman Church, St Mary's, and a Medieval Castle from the 14th century. There is also a small shop and a pub if you need supplies.

Cool historic spot on Dartmoor.

It is definitely worth having a stroll around these ancient ruins. While perhaps less impressive than nearby Grimspound, they are less well-known and, therefore, less busy. Today Challacombe is well known for the farm's rewilding efforts.

Coffee shop on the headland, good views and toilets
