Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village

Audio Guide to Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village

Join English Heritage historian Nick Holder in conversation with Helen Allen, Free Sites Partnership Manager, at Hound Tor Deserted Medieval Village. Together they explore some key locations around the site, and Nick explains what we know about the village and what life might have been like here in the medieval period.

The guide is designed so you can listen whether you are at the village or elsewhere. For on-site listening, it’s best to download the guide before you go, as mobile signal at Hound Tor is unreliable. You will also find a link below to download a map, which will help you both to plan ahead and to find your way around during your visit.
