Fort Hill Earthworks

This site was different to the others, as you walk up the original path to approach the earthworks and mounds, and it appears not to have been cleared. You go up past moss

And through woodland, catching glimpses of the mounds above.



As you can see from the map, it’s a steep climb. I didn’t have time to follow the entire trail, and most of the tracks looked fairly unused.

I came back again a week later, and walked the entire Fort Trail. A week had made a lot of difference because most trees have lost all their leaves so it’s much easier to see the views over the valleys. All of them would be a stiff climb.

The path went inside the earthworks, and travelled the length of the interior.

It was a really beautiful place and I was glad I came back.
