Badbury Rings





Three of us visited Badbury Rings this afternoon taking advantage of the beautiful weather. Although we took Glen's mountain board it would have been a little irresponsible to use it on this iron age fort. Details can be found in one of the pistures on the following website: -

There are great views in all directions and plenty of walks besides the fort. The fields surrounding have been allowed to recover after harvesting and provide shelter for wildlife including a hare we disturbed. The edges of the fields have not been cut at all and are turning to seed in an effort to encourage the recovery of ground nesting birds.
