A short drive off the A30 and you will arrive at Okehampton Castle nestled in the foothills of Dartmoor. The castle is one of the largest in the county and dates back to the Norman Conquest with its striking motte and bailey features. The castle provides visitors with audio tours to bring its history to life, and the rumoured ghost stories are shared with all that dare to listen. Maximum price for admission costs £3.90 (adult ticket).
