Hemyock Castle
Hemyock Castle
Long an important historic centre, today Hemyock Castle offers a warm welcome for Visitors, Schools, and Groups.
The privately owned site is a scheduled Ancient Monument, opened to the public on Bank Holiday Mondays (2 to 5 pm) between Easter and September. Schools and groups are welcome to arrange special visits.
Although situated in the heart of Hemyock village, the castle site is screened by trees and walls so surprisingly little can be seen from the road. The whole site is enclosed by substantial walls, fences and gates.
Hemyock Castle is set in the Culm Valley amongst the now tranquil Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, just a few miles from Taunton.
