A lovely walk with great views. Interesting information at several parts of the site and free parking.

A large historic hill with accessible path to walk around, great for exercise, dog walking and views of countryside surrounding Shropshire. There is a small parking spot at the main entrance gate (enough for ~4-5 cars), can get busy when weather is good. The hill is actively used as grazing/farmland by local farmer for sheep (gates to be kept closed!). Information display boards can be found here, for both the associated history (was once was an iron-age hill fort, today is one of the best preserved examples) and nature (e.g. local birds). A narrow country lane connects to Oswestry, in about/less than 1 minute.

Impressive iron age hillfort. Popular with dog walkers. Would be an adventure playground for kids in better weather.

One of the largest hill forts in england. Hard to reach here by public transport either have to travel by bike or car here. Small limited car park next to road of around 5 car spaces but usually not a lot of visitors. You have to climb the stakes for 5minutes to reach the top then walk around it takes around 30 minutes. Some information boards in the site.

A nice wander round to see the history in the area, nice views, and some lovely goats to keep me company. Best on a clear day as not much to see. Wats dyke is the old dyke that used to run between old Oswestry along side offa dykes the more popular and longer routes.

Good little parking spot for several cars opposite the gates. Big lumps and bumps in field showing where the ramparts were. Information boards. Great views from the top.
