This gentle circular walk explores the heathland and ancient ramparts around Woodbury Castle, an Iron Age hillfort on the Pebblebed Heaths. The route winds through gorse-lined paths, shady plantations, and open commons, with plenty of birdsong and wide skies overhead. A short pebbly descent adds a touch of adventure before you rejoin broad tracks leading back to the castle. At just under 3 miles, it is a manageable outing for most walkers and takes about an hour to an hour and a half at a relaxed pace. Along the way you can enjoy sweeping views across East Devon and the Exe Estuary, along with a sense of history at one of the area’s most striking landmarks.
