Tips

On Yeavering Bell, you can explore the largest Iron Age hillfort in the region and see the remains of more than 100 roundhouses. There are spectacular views from the summit, too. Keep a look out for the elusive herd of wild goats that still graze the area after being brought over from the Middle East in Neolithic times.
