Hembury Hillfort Walking Tour

Join Bill Horner, Devon County Archaeologist, for a guided walk around Hembury Hillfort, Devon’s most spectacular Iron Age hillfort.

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 be walking on rough and potentially muddy paths. Appropriate footwear is required and long trousers are recommended.
