Looking out across the Culm Valley, Culmstock Beacon is a wonderful place to take in far reaching views. You can see almost to Exeter on a clear day. The beacon is the flint hunt which was part of an early warning system against invasion during Elizabethan times. Most notably warning against the Spanish Armada. Fires were lit on the beacons when ships were seen, the series of beacons reaching from the south west to London. You can go into the beacon, which was rebuilt in 1870 and look up at the sky where the fire would have been lit.
