Oliver's Castle is an Iron Age hill fort with awe-inspiring views across the plain over Devizes and beyond. The fort gets its name from the Battle of Roundway, when Sir William Waller's 2,500-strong cavalry camped here for three nights. As is common throughout England, anything related to the Civil War usually ends up linked to Oliver Cromwell, though.
