Bury Hill Fort Walk
This walk explores Bury Hill Fort in Andover, Hampshire.
The Iron Age Fort is located just to the south west of the town in the Anna Valley area. You can start the walk from the village of Upper Clatford and follow footpaths west to reach the fort. Here you'll find a series of paths taking you around the fort and the adjacent Bury Hill Meadows.
On the way there's some nice views of the fields surrounding Upper Clatford which also includes some pretty thatched cottages.
You can continue your walking in the area by heading west to explore the countryside around Abbotts Ann. Rooksbury Mill can also be found to the east.

Interior of the hillfort at Bury Hill, Upper Clatford. Looking north at the interior of the hillfort, which has an area of about 22 acres. The interior is private land - in fact a helpful sign says BULL KEEP DOG OUT. A public footpath encircles the interior on top of the inner rampart, which is mostly planted with beech trees. The hillfort is iron-age in origin, but occupation was continued into the Roman era. Apparently it was also used as a camp by King Canute in 1016, when he fought Edmund Ironside in the Battle of Andover.
