Okehampton Castle

One of the largest castle ruins in the South West is sited on a long, thin shale outcrop in a wooded valley on the northern edge of Dartmoor. The castle was probably built after 1068, and is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) as the centre of the estates of Baldwin de Brionne, Sheriff of Devon.
