TheCaptain visited on 10th Apr 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 A walk round Lansdown battlefields and around the racecourse, making sure to check out the hillfort defences this time, which are more substantial than I remember. Lovely views to south and west, overlooking the Avon valley and watch the birds.
TheCaptain visited on 4th Jul 2015 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Having a walk round Lansdown, passed through this hillfort. Didn't notice too much of the internal banks and ditches, but must have walked alongside them for a while! The hilltop edge is very steep, and the views to south and west are supreme. A lovely place to stand and stare!
