Welcome to Crownhill

Crownhill is a small village located in the county of Devon, England. It is situated on the outskirts of Plymouth and is known for its beautiful countryside and stunning views. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it the perfect place for those who love to explore the great outdoors. Crownhill is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the Crownhill Fort, which was built in the 1860s to protect Plymouth from invasion.

One of the main attractions of Crownhill is its proximity to Dartmoor National Park. This vast wilderness area is home to some of the most stunning scenery in the UK, including rugged moorland, deep valleys, and ancient forests.
