Hiking
Around 2,500-years-old, this Iron Age hillfort sits at the north end of the appropriately-named Lambert’s Castle Hill. You’ll find evidence of earthworks here and lovely views of the surrounding landscapes, particularly if you explore the entire hill. There’s a trig point to the south of the hillfort, at 840 feet (256 m).
Lambert’s Castle is managed by the National Trust and is free to enter. There’s a car park to the south west and the Liberty Trail hiking path runs right through the middle of the fort.
