Burton Dassett Hills

Burton Dassett Hills is a country park in Warwickshire with hills that reach 211 meters high and offer views stretching far across the surrounding countryside. The park spreads across meadows, walking paths, and old quarry areas that still show the region's industrial past.

The area was mined for ironstone until the 1920s, with a special railway line carrying the extracted materials away. This intense industrial use shaped the land and left behind the many traces of extraction that remain visible today.

The small church All Saints from the 12th century sits nestled among the green hills and offers visitors a quiet place to sit and reflect. The ancient holy well beside it shows how long people have valued this location as something special.

The park has several paths of different difficulty that work well for walking or light hiking. Access is straightforward and parking is available near the entrances, with the best views found from the higher areas.

Beneath the hills lies a sea from the Jurassic Period that was once filled with marine creatures millions of years ago. This geological history makes the present landscape something truly special, even though it appears as simple hills on the surface.
