Hiking

Exploring Bickleigh Castle on one of their tours is taking a rather large step back in history. The chapel was originally built in 600 AD and the castle itself is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book. Damaged during the Civil War, the estate was once larger although it remains an impressive site.

Bickleigh Castle is a lovely manor house on the banks of the River Exe. Although the main building was destroyed during the Civil War, the central courtyard and other historic buildings still stand today. The original Norman motte castle was built in the late 11th century. Nowadays, the castle is used to host weddings, but it's still an interesting place to stop and take a look.
