Badbury Rings
Badbury Rings in Dorset is a magnificent Iron Age hill fort, its great concentric ramparts rising from the chalk downland in a series of grassy rings that have barely changed in two thousand years. Set on the Kingston Lacy estate, it is surrounded by ancient landscape — Romano-British roads, Bronze Age barrows, and an avenue of beech trees — and carries the atmospheric weight of a site that was important through many successive eras. In spring, the rings come alive with wildflowers and the constant wheeling of rooks overhead.
