Description

The view from Bulverton Hill which is thought to have inspired 19th century poet and hymn writer John Keble to compose some of his best loved work, Keble’s Seat at Bulverton Hill is named after the English churchman and commands a breathtaking panoramic view of the Lower Otter Valley and Dartmoor in the distance. John Keble (1792-1866) was an English churchman and one of the leaders of the influential Oxford Movement.
