ウェストドーセットでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Dominating the Dorset landscape, Maiden Castle is one of Europe’s largest and most complex Iron Age hillforts. Its massive, labyrinthine earthworks were engineered around 400 BC to protect a thriving community of hundreds. The site is famous for its "war cemetery," detailing a fierce struggle against the Roman Second Legion in 43 AD. Today, its sweeping ramparts remain a masterclass in ancient defensive architecture.

Built atop the massive Iron Age earthworks of Maiden Castle, this small Romano-British temple dates to the 4th century AD. It reflects a late pagan revival, featuring a classic square-within-a-square design. Located in Dorset, its ruins offer a haunting blend of Roman architecture and ancient Celtic fortification.
