Cleeve Hill

Sacred Hill

Miscellaneous

This is an excellent area. There is a hillfort, a settlement and ancient dykes criss-crossing this hill. Called Cleeve Cloud locally, this is as close as you could get to an ancient landscape in the Cotswolds. No enclosure, sheep wandering over the summit and a superb view over the Severn Vale to Wales.

The actual 'Cleeve Hill' itself has an earthwork surrounding it but walk along the ridge (the Cloud) you will come to a small hill fort that uses the sheer drop of the ridge as its forth side.
