Contractors and volunteers will carry out various works at Hembury Fort to manage the site for the benefit of its archaeology and the natural environment. This may include the removal of timber, cutting bracken and other vegetation, and general clearance work.
The public are still welcome when work is ongoing but please take notice of signs directing you not to enter areas where there is a safety risk.
Public access by foot is welcome. Please keep only to the public rights of way and observe the Countryside Code. Please keep your dogs under control at all times and note that no fires or barbecues are permitted.
