Middleworth farmstead, 450m south east of Norsworthy Bridge
Devon
Middleworth farmstead lies on the moorland slopes south east of Norsworthy Bridge, a landscape shaped by centuries of upland farming. The site comprises the remains of a historic farm settlement, its exact age uncertain but probably established in the medieval period or later. Like many moorland farms, it would have served the dual purpose of pastoral agriculture and subsistence living in what remains one of Dartmoor's more exposed reaches.
Today the site is visible as earthworks and possibly structural remains scattered across the hillside. A scheduled monument, it forms part of the broader pattern of settlement that characterises this part of Dartmoor, offering walkers a tangible link to the generations who made their living from the moor's difficult but productive land.
