BLACKBURY CAMP
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
This hillfort in Devon was built during the 4th century BC. It was used by an Iron Age tribal people , probably for several hundred years. Blackbury Camp had impressive ramparts, and the single entrance was protected by a large triangular earthwork or ‘barbican’. Now surrounded by woodland, the hillfort is a popular spot for picnics. Read more about the history of Blackbury Camp. BEFORE YOU GO Access: The hillfort is within a wooded area, parts of which are uneven and can become muddy. View details.

PLAN A GREAT DAY OUT Visit during late spring to see the fantastic carpet of bluebells and bring a picnic to make the most of this picturesque spot - also a great base for local walks.
