Earls Hill Nature Reserve

Local people see the shape of a sleeping dragon in Earl’s Hill and fiery its beginnings certainly were. This distinctive, humped hill roared forth from a volcano some 650 million years ago. An Iron Age hill fort was built on its lofty summit around 600 BC and if you can manage the very steep climb you will be rewarded with spectacular views. There is a great deal more to be explored and discovered on its lower slopes with a rich variety of woodland habitats.

Activity examples:
