The Bulwarks (Breedon on the Hill) submitted by TimPrevett : This is on the southern end of the hill, ramparts survive better, IIRC, on the western side, but time and incoming heavy rain were against me on this visit. Take in the church, too, which heaves with history from Anglo-Saxon, Norman, and beyond! (Vote or comment on this photo)

Great condition. Fine views across Lougher Estuary. Only a few sheep for company. Public footpaths give full access but a rather steep climb.
