This is a Bronze Age bowl barrow in private ownership that used to serve as a boundary marker for Exmoor Forest.

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.

This Bronze Age barrow sits at an elevation of 480 meters above sea level, right on the boundary dividing the counties of Devon and Somerset. It is recognized as a Scheduled Monument by both counties.

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.

Wistlandpound Reservoir is a tranquil place where you can feel close to nature. It is an easy 2.6km hike around the edge of the lake which takes you through the forest and along the water's edge. All the while surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The path around the reservoir is accessible for both wheelchairs and pushchairs. The reservoir supplies drinking water to nearby Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Combe Martin. If the water levels are low, look out for the ruins of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway which used to run though the valley until the reservoir was built in 1956.

On the southern shores of Wistpoundland Reservoir, take a break in the bird hide to see what wildlife you can spot. You're fairly likely to see western cattle egret, and might be lucky to see a great white egret in the winter. There have also been recent sightings of white-tailed eagles up here! You can see all different waterfowl by taking a jaunt around the reservoir on the path.

Tricky descent or a tough climb, either way, the bottom section is good fun, it levels out a bit at the solitary tree halfway up but then maintains a steady climb to the monument. Bracing! Great news! the steps have been fixed so there isn't the trip Hazard there any more. Enjoy!

The largest defensive earthworks in greater Exmoor, Shoulsbury Castle was named after the Roman-Celtic God Sulius Minerva. It is thought to date back to either the Iron Age or Roman times. You can still see the ditches and rampart, although none of the original castle remains. The hill is 472 metres (1,549 feet) metres above sea level and has great views over Exmoor.
