Cross the threshold of Higher Uppacott, Dartmoor National Park’s Grade 1 Listed longhouse and step back in time to medieval Dartmoor. On 2 August 2015 Dartmoor National Park has arranged an opportunity for the public to visit this unique building in the company of a knowledgeable guide.

A longhouse is a medieval farmhouse in which both people and cattle were accommodated under a single roof. Higher Uppacott is rare and of national importance. It is one of the few remaining examples of this historic building type, which has retained its lower or shippon end (cattle shelter) in its original state.

Join Dartmoor National Park for this rare opportunity and learn about the development of Higher Uppacott from its medieval beginnings through to the present day. We only have limited places so it is essential to pre-book your place on 01822 890414 or at the National Park Visitor Centre, Princetown
