The summit of Caer Caradoc boasts a fine example of an Iron Age hill fort. Here, you can explore the ancient ditches that soldiers used to defend against Roman invaders and look inside the cave where they would have sheltered from the strong winds and storms. There are breathtaking panoramas here for you to enjoy, too.

A great walking area with fine views and yet another Iron Age Fort to wander around. Caer Caradoc is also a UK listed Marilyn so another ticked off.
