Dumpdon Hill, Iron Age hillfort in Luppitt, England
Located above the River Otter valley, Dumpdon Hill rises to 250 meters with dense beech trees crowning its summit and earthwork fortifications along its slopes.
The Iron Age defensive structure dates back over 2000 years, featuring multiple ramparts and ditches that encircle the hilltop as protection for ancient settlements.
The National Trust maintains this archaeological site where visitors can explore one of Devon's largest hill forts while learning about prehistoric British defensive systems.
Two small parking areas provide access to the walking trails that lead visitors through grazing areas where longhorn cattle contribute to natural land management.
From the summit's triangulation point, observers can see the entire Otter Valley while standing among earthworks that have endured since pre-Roman Britain.
