- Found it
We have been up here a few times now and have always enjoyed the visit. Today the path up was a bit muddy but that was because a tractor had been up to the top and had cut the hedgerows down low. The view over Dartmoor was fantastic on the way up and right at the top there were loads of snowdrops at the base of a newly laid hedge.
We went round the fort clockwise and were able to go straight to the cache where the views over the countryside are outstanding. It was a little cold at the top and the wind was very strong but we were quite sheltered amoungst the trees.
We followed the path up into the fort and back down the other side for another good visit to this hillfort. It is amazing to think that 2000 or so years ago it was a thriving community up here. I wonder what they would make of it if they could come back today?
Thanks for a good one.
