    Barbury Castle is a well-preserved Iron Age hill fort. The site was first occupied around 2,500 years ago and has been used by the Romans, the Saxons, and even played a role in the Second World War. From the fort, you are afforded wonderful views over the landscape. In clear conditions, you can see the Cotswolds and the River Severn.

    Hike a bike for me on my gravel bike to get up here from the west but worth it, the views are stunning and the archeology very interesting
