Beacon Hill Summit

Highlight • Climb

The chalkland summit views were stunning. But the climb on a gravel bike, through wet clay & mud, was too much my elderly 55 year old legs, so, I ended up pushing the bike!

View from Oliver’s Castle hill fort

Highlight • Historical Site

Oliver's Castle is an Iron Age hill fort with awe-inspiring views across the plain over Devizes and beyond. The fort gets its name from the Battle of Roundway, when Sir William Waller's 2,500-strong cavalry camped here for three nights. As is common throughout England, anything related to the Civil War usually ends up linked to Oliver Cromwell, though.
