Chains Barrow is only 32 meters lower in elevation than Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor. The trig point is surrounded by a fence and is located just above a Bronze Age bowl barrow.

Little Hangman is one of the main cliffs in Combe Martin, and from this point, you will enjoy a privileged view of the coastline.

Little Hangman is one of the main prominent landmarks in the area, along with its 'big brother' The Great Hangman. One way to explain its name is likely the local legend that tells of a sheep rustler. This rustler once took a ram tied with a rope, when suddenly, the ram escaped, falling off a cliff and taking the rustler with it. As they fell, the rope snagged onto a rock, and the next morning, it is said that a sailor passed by and saw the man hanging from the rope.

This trig point is only 32m lower than Dunkery Beacon, though with a much less distinctive hilltop. In the far distance, you can see Hartland Point and Lundy. It is enclosed within a fenced off area.

You are rewarded with superb views along the coast from the cairn on Holdstone Hill. To the west is Lundy Island, Exmoor lies to the east and the shores of Wales are north. You might just get more than lovely views, though. According to the religious beliefs of the Aertherius Society, Holdstone Down is a very special place. Aertherians believe that Jesus appeared to their founder Dr George King — in a spaceship, no less — on Holdstone Down on July 23,1958. His followers hold a service to connect with space people on Holdstone Down as it is believed to be the site of contacts with extraterrestrial beings or alien peoples.
