A 15th century castle is a ruined and apparently haunted castle in the woods east of Totnes. English Heritage manage it and there is an entrance fee for non-members. It's worth a look around if you have the time. Otherwise, you can get a good glimpse of the castle from the footpaths that run around the area.

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.

This 14th century fortress on a motte was built to strengthen the 11th century castle and the earthen ramparts. The ramparts offer a beautiful view of the entire valley of the Dart

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.

You can see the castle from the path but it’s worth a visit in its own right.

Perched atop a hill in the town centre, Totnes Castle was once an important defence. It's one of the best-preserved Norman motte and bailey castles in England so definitely worth a visit. At the top of the hill, there are great views over the town, its surrounding countryside and the River Dart. The castle is managed by English Heritage and is open from 10am - 5pm. Tickets for adults cost £5.90.

Sommer concerts at the evening, lovely garden and next to a good Caffe with vegan options

Dartington Hall is one of Devon's most notable mansions. Not only is it the largest medieval estate in western England, it has never been fortified with walls, towers or ditches, which is very unusual for a medieval mansion.  The oldest tree of the plant is a yew about 2000 years old. The center of the garden to the west is a meadow with steep grass terraces and the Twelve Apostles, a trellis of 300-year-old yews. The place was probably created in the Middle Ages as a tournament venue and today still so designated. Source and more info: Wikipedia
