Hembury Fort is an iron age hill fort far older than stone henge. Its a walk through some striking woodland with some great earthen banks for kids to go climbing around. Emerging from the woods, the hill has some amazing views across the local area.

(7min drive) Hembury Fort is an iron age hill fort (much older than stone henge). You walk through some incredible woodland with some fab earthen banks for the children to go climbing around. As you emerge from the woods, there are some wonderful views across the local area.
