Hemyock Castle
Ancient Heart of the Blackdowns
Heritage Open Days 2017 in Hemyock, Devon
On Sunday 10th September 2017, 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.
Special events on Sunday 10th September 2017 from 2 to 5 pm included:
- Hemyock Castle: Sunday 10th (2 to 5 pm):
- Special Audio Displays: Local History & Castle Cider-Making
- Castle Interpretation Centre – Hemyock Castle through the ages
- Castle Tours – view the conserved ruins and moat
- Dungeon – archaeological finds

- St. Mary's Church: Sunday 10th (12:30 to 5 pm):

- Display of church records and the church's social history
- Teas

Hemyock Castle receives no funding, and makes no charge for entry on Heritage Open Days. We welcome donations to The Blackdown Support Group & Musgrove Leukaemic Group Somerset.
