The Hill Fort is approached via a fairly steep permissive footpath from the South West (Follow road signs from Cadbury Village and park in lay-by) it is worth the walk! The views are breathtaking and offer a 360 degree panorama of other significant sites and much of the lower Exe Valley from Tiverton to Exeter.

Is there no end to the number of Cadburys and the confusion they cause?

When Cadbury Castle and Dolbury Down delved were
Then Denshire might plough with a golden coulter
And eare with a golden sheer.
(Grinsell: 'Folklore of Prehistoric Sites in Britain' - I can't remember his reference..)

More at Dolbury.
