An ancient hill fort with views over the Otter Valley
An impressive Iron Age hill fort, Dumpdon sits on one of the largest and most striking hills in the beautiful Otter Valley.
The climb is well worth the effort, offering fantastic views of the surrounding area. Explore these impressive defensive earthworks before visiting the mysterious small beech forest behind.
Not far from the site Exmoor ponies can be seen grazing on the Rough.
