Coastal Heritage

Volunteers at Hillsborough hillfort

In the remote and undeveloped parts of the North Devon Coast National Landscape many heritage features can still be seen, whether from ancient times or more recent historical events.

These range from ancient monuments, such as prehistoric standing stones and Iron Age hillforts, to medieval landscape features, listed buildings and World War II remains.

However, much of this heritage is at risk from environmental impacts, lack of official protection and  lack of public awareness. 

To help you discover our coastal heritage we have produced a number of free guides and walks leaflets which can be downloaded here;

 You can also find out more about the various work streams of this project by clicking on the links below;
