Hemyock Castle
Ancient Heart of the Blackdowns
Heritage Open Days 2013 in Hemyock, Devon
On Sunday 15th September 2013, from 2 to 5 pm, Hemyock Castle and Village again took part in this hugely popular celebration of culture and heritage.
Hemyock is set in the now tranquil Culm Valley within the beautiful Blackdown Hills in Devon, just a few miles from the M5 Motorway and Taunton. Hemyock Castle is a scheduled Ancient Monument. Although situated in the heart of Hemyock village, the castle site is screened by trees and walls so surprisingly little can be seen from the road.

- Hemyock Castle (2 to 5 pm):
- Special Opening in aid of The Blackdown Support Group.

They are co-ordinated by English Heritage which receives some funding from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
