Fernworthy Circle, Devon

Located in Chagford, Devon, South West England, England
Stone circle in the heart of Fernworthy Forest close to the 'gateway town' of Chagford in Dartmoor National Park
If you explore Fernworthy Forest, you'll come across many stone rows and hut circles. In addition, within the local area, there are other impressive stone circles. Walk west out onto the moors from Fernworthy to visit the The Grey Wethers Stone Circles. A little further away, to the north, is Scorhill Stone Circle. There are also some magnificent stone rows on the moors around Fernworthy Forest. See Shovel Down Stone Rows and Chagford Common Stone Row (Eastern Section) for additional information. Note that all these attractions are located on Google maps. Zoom in to see their exact locations when planning a trip
To visit Fernworthy Circle, follow the road from Chagford to the car park by Fernworthy Reservoir. Instead of turning into that car park, continue on the road as it winds through the forest. At the end of the road is a car parking and turning area. Walk west from here on the dirt road and Fernworthy Circle is located in a clearing to your right. Again, we've located the stone circle on a Google map so zoom in to see its exact location. Refer to the Ordnance Survey OL28 'Dartmoor' map, too
Dartmoor National Park is well known for its rich prehistory. We'd recommend visiting Merrivale Stone Rows and Drizzle Combe, English Heritage's Grimspound and Spinster's Rock as well
