"The best known of many prehistoric settlements on Dartmoor, Grimspound dates from the late Bronze Age (about 1450–700 BC). The remains of 24 stone roundhouses survive here, within a massive boundary wall about 150 metres in diameter. There are great views of the site from Hookney Tor and the high ground on Hameldown."

A Bronze Age settlement where you can still see the remains of 24 stone roundhouses, within a massive boundary wall about 150 metres in diameter. You can walk the 3.4 miles to the site from The Apiary, with only the first 200 metres on the road. The rest of the route, you follow the ridge of Hameldown which gives you a 360 degree view of the moor, and on a clear day, you can see right out to the sea.
