Dates for guided tours of Higher Uppacott are now available to book.

Higher Uppacott is a medieval farmhouse (longhouse) in which both people and cattle were accommodated under a single roof. As a Grade 1 listed building, it is also of national importance and one of the few remaining examples of this type of historic building. 

The only way to explore this building is to book on a guided tour; you will get the chance to see its development from medieval beginnings through to the present day. Higher Uppacott vividly illustrates the major changes in domestic family life and the social structures of Dartmoor farming folk over the centuries.

All tours start at 10.30am unless it says otherwise and last around 90minutes. Cost is £6 per person. Places can be booked by email or by calling the National Park Visitor Centre at Princetown on 01822 890414. 

Dates available are:
Sunday 2 April and Saturday 15 April 
Monday 1 May and Sunday 28 May 
Saturday 10 June and Sunday 25 June 
Saturday 8 July and Sunday 30 July
Saturday 5 August, Sunday 13 August, Wednesday 16 August (6pm), Saturday 19 August, Wednesday 23 August and Mon 28 August.
