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.

Will stop at Mill End next time for snack.

These stairs take you to Drogo Castle, which you can of course visit. However, you can also take a break in the castle garden.

A stunning gravel trail taking you high above the river with outstanding views. Be sure to follow it all the way through the forest and along the river. Best ridden down hill from the West. Easily rideable on gravel bikes with 40mm tyres and only one short, 20m section needed walking. Watch out for walkers!

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.

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.

Done on road bike with gravel tyres. Great vistas.
