Okehampton Castle
Okehampton Castle is a medieval motte-and-bailey castle in Devon, England, founded after the Norman Conquest and later redeveloped by the de Courtenay family as a hunting lodge and residence. Its site occupies a long, thin rocky outcrop above the West Okement and was surrounded by a large deer park. The ruins are now managed by English Heritage and conserved as a historic monument.

As it stood in 1380
The shape it held in its prime.
Sited on a long, narrow rocky ridge, the castle presents a roofless run of pale grey stone walls and buttresses forming an elongated bailey with a higher motte at the south‑west end where the keep stood. From the north the facade reads as a tall, defensive frontage of narrow slit windows; from the south the lodgings show low walls and large paired windows overlooking parkland. The central bailey is grassy, with scattered wall stubs, arched openings and worn ashlar exposed.
