Hillfort and heathland
Standing at the highest point of the Pebblebed Heaths, Woodbury Castle is more than just a viewpoint; it is a 2,500-year-old Iron Age hillfort defined by its massive ramparts and deep ditches. Today, these ancient defenses are shaded by a canopy of beech trees.
The hillfort sits within a vast, internationally important heathland which is part of the National Nature Reserve. From here, you can access miles of sandy, pebbled tracks – home to rare species like the Dartford Warbler and the Nightjar.
