Tips

  • Dan Hobson

    Liddington Castle is a hillfort that dates to the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. Historians believe the site was first occupied in the 7th century BC, making it one of the earliest hill forts in the UK. Standing at 909 feet (277 m), the summit is the highest point in the Borough of Swindon and affords terrific views.
