English Heritage ruined castle in a secluded woodland setting adjacent to the river Okment. Well worth a visit coupled with the Dartmoor museum in Okehampton.

Okehampton Castle is located 23miles from Sutcombe. The remains of the largest castle in Devon, in a stunning setting on a wooded spur above the rushing River Okement.
