Legend has it that anyone who manages to walk backwards around it 7 times will have one wish granted. In any case, it is a beautiful, ancient tree that looks pretty healthy and that you just want to hug!

Gallants Bower is the remains of a fort built during the English Civil War. Today it's just the earth works and trees have grown on the slopes, but you can still see why this site was chosen in 1643. The views are amazing, both inland and out to sea so it's a perfect defensible position. The fort was built by the Royalists to help defend Dartmouth from the Roundheads. The fiercest fighting occurred in 1646 when the Roundheads attacked and defeated the town, then the castle and finally the last remaining Royalists surrendered from here. The National Trust look after the area now and the fort is a scheduled ancient monument.

A fantastic view point with 360° views

From the National Trust, who own this site: Although now just a ruin, the Civil War fort is still an impressive place to explore with amazing 360-degree views across the estuary and inland. Stand with the Royalists at a Civil War fort Built between 1643 and 1645 to defend Dartmouth against the Parliamentarians, it saw the fiercest action in 1646, when it came under attack from Roundhead forces under General Fairfax. The Royalists having already fled the town and the castle finally retreated to Gallants Bower where they soon surrendered. Four years later the fort was dismantled. It is now one of the best-preserved in the country and is a Scheduled and Listed Ancient Monument. A great time to visit is when all the bluebells are out in late April – early May.
