Barbury Castle, Wiltshire

Description

If you want great views over the Marlborough Downs, this is the place to be. The main focus is the remains of the Iron Age hill fort which is surrounded by round barrows and ancient field systems dating from the time of the Celts. There's plenty to explore in the glorious surrounding countryside, including the chalk downs.
