Abberley Hill was at the centre of a protracted standoff between the Welsh and English armies in 1405. The Welsh army of Owain Glyn Dwr took up battle positions on Abberley Hill while King Henry IV's English army occupied the neighbouring Woodbury Hill, an Iron Age Hill Fort, clearly seen from the Trig Point on Abberley Hill. Both armies occupied their positions for days without any major action and they never engaged in battle, merely eyeing one another up suspiciously. With supply routes blocked, the Welsh army began to starve and headed home.

Hiking

The view from the top across to the clock tower of the school and to Woodbury Hill is a highlight of any walk on Abberley Hill.
