Conderton Camp is a hillfort on the southern slopes of Bredon Hill in Worcestershire - actually a promontory fort, more of a finger of land sticking out from the mainland.
You can park in the side road by the Yew Tree pub in Conderton and walk up the hill to the site or if you want an easier trek park in Pigeon Lane which runs between Conderton and Overbury and then it's just a short walk up the path. The site can also be reached from the Wychavon Way which runs along the top of Bredon Hill.
If anybody wonders why there are no shots of the north side of the fort it's because that's where it joins to Bredon Hill proper and it's been pretty much ploughed and farmed flat over the last 2000 years.
