R.I.G.S. Sites in Devon - alphabetically by name

There are currently 117 sites in this list; more are due to be added. The last column refers to the District Council. North, East and Mid take the suffix '... Devon District Council'. Teignbridge, Torridge and South Hams just take the suffix '... District Council'. Torbay is a Borough Council. West Devon is a Borough Council. Plymouth and Exeter are City Councils. DNP is an abbreviation for Dartmoor National Park Authority. It covers parts of West, Teignbridge and South Hams Councils, although sites within the Park are listed under the Authority.

Please note that many of these sites are on private land and prospective visitors should make their own arrangements regarding access.

In due course, a separate web page will be available for each site.
