Cadbury Castle Hillfort

Highlight • Historical Site

If you have time, try to walk around the Hill Fort!


Cadbury Castle is a Bronze and Iron Age hillfort associated with King Arthur's legendary court at Camelot.

The site was reused by the Roman forces and again from c. 470 until some time after 580. In the c11th century, it temporarily housed a Saxon mint. Evidence of various buildings at the site has been unearthed, including a "Great Hall", round and rectangular house foundations, metalworking, and a possible sequence of small rectangular temples or shrines

Great views from Stonehill lane near Sutton Montis. The road tops out at 103m above sea level between Cadbury Castle to the north and Parrock hill to the south. Great views up towards the old hill fort. Both hills can be climbed on foot for even better views but they aren't road bike friendly.
