Membury Hillfort approach sheep may safely graze This is the slope up which the enemy would have had to climb in order to attack this iron-age hillfort from the south. The tops of the trees on the ramparts which surround the fort can be seen beyond the nearest tall clump. The fort itself covers an area of 34 acres and this large feature on which it stands consists of clay with flints on a chalk subsoil. Located just half a mile south-west of Membury Services on the M4 motorway, the hillfort is one of the most ancient sites in the region (the Berkshire-Wiltshire border bisects the fort). Roman-British pottery fragments were found here by excavations between 1977-87. But significant finds have also included flint artefacts from the mesolithic era (8000-4000 BC) which followed the last ice age, and flint tools from the neolithic era (4000-2000 BC) prior to the iron age. http://www.digitaldigging.co.uk/maps/wiltshire/hillforts/hillforts_ia_wiltshire_membury_hillfort.html.

Top Baydon Hotel Reviews

ORIDA Hotels Newbury

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spotless staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent, plenty of room for parking and we were in a flatbed with a trailer so about 40ft long. Would definitely use again if in the area and need a bed for the night."

De Vere Cotswold Water Park

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of the lakeside rooms which had a beautiful view. Room was slightly cold because of this but reception did provide us with an extra heater. It was my husbands birthday so they provided a gift and prosecco which was lovely. Food was great, lovely staff and clean hotel. Book ahead for the spa to avoid disappointment. "
