Bluebells and beech trees, Badbury Castle, Faringdon There is a very good show of native bluebells in this National Trust holding. Once this was an Iron Age hillfort. For reasons best known to themselves, our 19th century forebears levelled most of it.

Hops in the Hedge Wild hops grow quite happily in hedgerows around here. There used to be some commercial hop growing in this part of Oxfordshire. Maybe there still is, but if so it's on a small scale.

                    Badbury Hill

   Welcome
      Badbury Hill is the site of an Iron Age hill fort. It is likely that it was 
      built from around 600BC and occupied until the first century AD.
      The woods are famed for their bluebells and are great for you to
      explore and enjoy.

      Make the most of Badbury Hill
      Take a walk - Whether you have dogs or small children, there is a 
      route here for everyone. Link up with footpaths and follow the
      Buscot and Coleshill Circular Walks.
      Explore the hill fort - This circular Iron Age fort still has its ditch
      and banks and is an ideal distance for toddlers. Enjoy the wonderful
      views.
      Play - There are plenty of places to build dens and explore, seek out
      the natural Wild Play areas on the edge of the Hill Fort and further in
      the woods.
      Visit Coxwell Barn - Follow the footpath to the 13th century barn,
      only 15 minutes away.
      Come back in the spring - See the magnificent display of bluebells
      below the beech trees.
