(comment from "Walker in the High Places")
Not such an inaccessible or potentially fearful fort as Croft Ambrey, one COULD attempt this one alone.
The usually reliable online RomanBrit.org reproduces an old shibboleth (I have read it also in the British Library) that Pyon's main defence is its precipitous steepness. This is simply incorrect. From all sides it is perfectly climbable, and from the main Leintwardine to Aymestry road, the approach is extremely flat...
Pyon (the Victorian OS has it as Pion, either way it surely comes from Old Welsh for headland) is a place of deep quietness.. few birds sing. The ramparts, especially the main gate to the north, are remarkably clear and visible for a site hardly ever mentioned as a Celtic fortress (Explorer maps until recently did not even register an Iron Age site here). All the more pleasure you will find in discovering this secret place for yourself.
Each time you visit, you will find deer staring you out territorially; each time you will find something subtly..rather unsettlingly... altered at the crest of the camp.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
