Danebury Hill Fort

Standing high above the surrounding countryside, Danebury Iron Age Hill Fort is a site of national importance in terms of archaeology and nature conservation. The spectacular downland setting and the ancient ring of ramparts makes this a very special place to walk around.

You cannot miss this walk if you are a fan of Downton Abbey as the view from the top of this iron age hill fort has views to Highclere Castle. These have to be the most far reaching views we have found in Hampshire, and you can enjoy them in every direction.
