Cadbury Camp
Cadbury Camp
Iron Age hill fort on the ridge above the village of Tickenham in North Somerset
Tucked away from the main road, Cadbury Camp offers peace and tranquility with great views south to the Mendips and beyond to the Quantocks, Exmoor and Flat and Steep Holm in the Severn Estuary. To the west you can see south Wales and the Brecon Beacons, and follow the Severn Estuary up to the two bridges.
It was once part of the Clevedon Court estate belonging to the Elton family, but its history goes back much further. Archaeological evidence shows use of the site from Neolithic times up to the 1940s.
The Iron Age hill fort was constructed and occupied from the 6th century BC to the mid-1st century AD.
The limestone grassland has never been affected by modern farming methods, making it a good spot to see a variety of wild flowers.
