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. Parking: There is a small free car park at the site. Dogs: Dogs on leads are welcome. 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. Why not extend your day out with a visit to Abbotsbury, less than 25 miles from the camp. Both the abbey remains and St Catherine's Chapel offer stunning views.
