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. Managed by the Dartmoor National Park Authority. BEFORE YOU GO Access: Dartmoor is known for its changeable weather conditions and the site is remote and very exposed. Parking: There is limited roadside parking in a layby , located on the right hand side approximately 1.4 miles (2.2km) after turning off the B3212.
