The fringes of Dartmoor still hold a few I believe: try a bit east of Okehampton.

The North and Eastern parts of Bodmin Moor are worth checking. Areas around Crowdy reservoir and Bastreet are best.

Challacombe Farm in Devon is a relaible spot for Redstart and Pied Fly. Nice walking area too. Plenty of others stuff too, Cuckoo, Spot Fly, Dipper etc.

I'm hoping to go down that way soon. Where exactly is Challacombe Farm? Is it at the south end of Challacombe Down? If so, where do you park and which direction do you walk - or doesn't it matter?
