Cadbury Castle is a Bronze and Iron Age Hillfort and has the most spectacular views across the Dorset Countryside. It is an archaeological paradise, with evidence of settlements from the Neolithic period through to the Romans.

Cadbury Castle is an ancient hillfort that affords breathtaking panoramic views. The ramparts you see today were first raised by stone age men. In the Iron Age, they were fortified by the Durotriges tribe to defend against Roman invaders. The Durotriges were ultimately defeated in 70 AD and the Roman invaders torched the fort and the surrounding village. By 500 AD the fort was again standing tall to defend against Vikings. There is some speculation that the site was King Arthur’s legendary Camelot stronghold in the 6th century.

Turn right out of the car park and then left by the houses and straight up. We turned right after the second gate around the hill. Not a good route for buggies if you have kids, best to carry them
