Woodbury Hill Camp

Woodbury Hill Camp is an Iron Age fort near Great Witley with layered earth banks and ditches forming a ringed defensive structure. The hilltop location provides commanding views across the surrounding valleys and woodlands.

The fort was constructed during the Iron Age as a defensive stronghold for the local community. It later became strategically important during medieval conflicts in the area.

The hillfort structure represents the military and social capabilities of Iron Age communities to mobilize resources for large-scale defensive constructions.

The site is accessible on foot with trails crossing the earth banks, allowing you to walk directly over the ancient structures. Visit in drier months as the sloped terrain can become muddy and slippery.

The entrances curve inward with defensive walls that funnel people through narrow passages. This clever design allowed defenders to control how attackers could move through the openings.
