Hembury Hillfort Walking Tour

Join Bill Horner, Devon County Archaeologist, for a guided walk around Hembury Hillfort, one of Devon's most spectacular Iron Age hillforts. Positioned on a prominent spur of the Blackdown Hills, Hembury's massive earthen ramparts and ditches date from the mid-first millennium BC and create a striking landmark with commanding views across the surrounding countryside. Hembury is owned and cared for by the Devon Archaeological Society. We will meet at the Witness Moor car park. The car park is on the opposite side of the road to Hembury Hillfort.
