Hendra Camp

Hendra Camp sits as a stark reminder of Iron Age settlement on the open moor, its defensive earthworks still legible in the contours of the landscape. From this elevated position, you can sense why ancient communities chose this exposed, windswept terrain—the wide views would have offered security and control over the surrounding moorland.

The site's prominence on Dartmoor's high ground makes it a compelling destination for anyone interested in how people adapted to and shaped this landscape thousands of years ago. Standing here, you're walking the same ridge tops that would have been purposefully chosen for habitation and defence, with the vast moor spreading in all directions.
