Badbury Hill and Camp (Badbury Clump) |
 |
| Badbury Hill Camp is in shape an irregular circle and
overlooks the Vale of the White Horse to the south and a long stretch of low
lying ground to the north west, Thames Valley. An iron age fort, it is
strategically placed on the highest ground in the area. Early in the 19th Century the banks were levelled leaving little but vestiges of the fosse on the south side and a faint escarpment on the other sides. Badbury Hill is a favourite place for walkers and their dogs. In May, the bluebells are beautiful, and the woods attract a large number of visitors. It is locally referred to as Badbury Clump |
