Bury Ditches And Colstey Wood

 

Bury Ditches is home to one of the best-preserved hill forts in the country, dating from about 500BC. Come and meet Llew, the Iron Age boy, who helps visitors, young and old, enjoy the site.

There is a relief plan of the fort at the start of the walks and information in Braille.

The spectacular views from the top make the steady climb worthwhile whilst visitors who are looking for a more level walk can follow the forest road past the barrier to a bench and a wonderful view.

How to get there:

Bury Ditches And Colstey Wood is part of The Marches. Clun is the nearest town or village.

Located down a country lane between Clunton and Lydbury North, the woodland is signposted from the B4368 and B4385.
