Culmstock Beacon provides a stunning viewpoint south to the River Culm valley and the historic village of Culmstock. The Beacon is on Black Down

High on the southwest point of Blackdown Common is Culmstock Beacon. It is one of a chain of Elizabethan beacons used for lighting fires to warn of advancing enemies, for example, The Spanish Armada. The beehive-shaped structure was built of flint. It was rebuilt in 1870 after the collapse of the earlier one. Culmstock Beacon is a wildlife haven with stunning views, particularly in the late summer when the bell-heather is in bloom. Access via public bridleway.

The abbey has a long history stretching back to 1201 when founded by William Brewer. The land was granted to the Cistercian order in the parish of Dunkeswell. It is an ancient monument of national importance which has recently fallen upon bad times and is in great need of a cash injection to restore this beautiful abbey to its once majestic glory.
