Hiking
This Iron Age hillfort lies just outside the quaint village of Chesterton, and can be accessed by a public footpath. The 'walls' themselves comprise of a defensive earth rampart encircling the site, which sits high above a steep sandstone gorge, which you can walk down to. Though dating back before then, it seems the site was occupied in Roman times as Roman coins and a gold ring were discovered here. The long, straight road nearby indicates why the site was important then.
