Windbury Head

The view from Windbury Hillfort

Windbury Head is a headland on the Hartland Peninsula on the wild north coast of Devon. It is found just north of Clovelly.

The headland is the site of an Iron Age hill fort. Most of the fort has been lost to coastal erosion, but the southern ramparts still exist at approximately 350 feet above sea level.
