| Visited 5.5.12 Access to the site is very easy (for a Hillfort!). Just north of Woodmancote via a minor road off the B4632. There is a free parking area a short walk to the south of the Hillfort and a public access track takes you right through the middle of the site. However, when I visited this track was extremely muddy so be warned. Karen Stayed in the car park with the sleeping Sophie while myself and Dafydd walked up the track. Dafydd was doing his usual ‘faffing’ so I walked on ahead. I soon reached the ditch and bank at the southern end of the Hillfort and was pleasantly surprised to see the ramparts still standing to a height of about 2.5m. This section of the Hillfort is covered in trees although the interior is open grass. At this point I heard the cry ‘Dad – help!’ I looked around to see Dafydd stood in the middle of the track up to his ankles in mud. ‘Come on’ said I - ‘I can’t’ said Dafydd. ‘Why not?’ I asked? - ‘I can’t move, I’m stuck!’ came the reply. I walked back down the track and luckily had his plastic sword I had just bought. I was able to reach over and pull him out without getting covered in mud myself! This is a good place to visit but unless we are in a drought – bring your wellies! |
