Higher Uppacott Uppacott

Devon

Higher Uppacott is a substantial farmhouse set on the open moorland of central Dartmoor. Listed at Grade I, it reflects centuries of occupation and adaptation, with building fabric likely spanning from the medieval period onwards. Like many Dartmoor farmsteads, it carries the marks of successive generations of farmers working marginal upland land.

The farm sits within the characteristic landscape of small fields and scattered holdings that define the moor's inhabited fringes. Visitors exploring the moorland paths in this area will find it a tangible reminder of how Dartmoor's communities have maintained their presence on high ground, building and rebuilding their homes against the demands of weather and terrain.
