도체스터‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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.

Great place to stop for coffee and cake, opens at 10am

Quite casually, you'll find yourself standing in the middle of a millennia-old place, which Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans have repeatedly reshaped to suit their culture and needs. Those familiar with Old Sarum will recognize or compare many things (Salisbury). Two information panels allow you to immerse yourself in this tranquil place.

It is very impressive to walk along the extensive ramparts and enjoy the view of the surrounding countryside.

Not easy to get to, but a great burial mound! We only found the easier access on the way back.

Spectacular views! And a pat on the back for climbing.
