Hunsbury Hill proper is little hard to find as it's surrounded by dense trees and shrubs on all sides, but keep following the paths and you will eventually see the unmistakable remnants of the deep ditch that surrounds the central open area. The iron age hill fort has seen its fair share of damage and looting over the past 200 years but is now designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument and plays host to Viking re-enactments during the summer. I have purchased a few hand carved items from the small but well organised group.
