Approached the fort from Croft Castle. It's a gentle climb, first past some of the avenue of Spanish Chestnuts, supposedly grown from nuts taken from the Spanish Armada and set out to represent the positions of the ships in the Spanish fleet. They are now coming to the end of their lives but remain beautiful if blasted hulks of trees.
The path climbs through Forestry Commission woodland then across common land of bracken and Hawthorn. The southern ramparts can be clearly seen. The path leads round to an entrance on the western side. The camp is triangular in site and was first occupied around 1050BCE. It was altered and rebuilt many times and although destroyed, probably by the Romans probably remained an important ceremonial site for many years.
The path leads across the camp to the northern edge which gives spectacular views (or would do if it wasn't so misty!)
