Enjoy a short walk in National Trust woodlands close to Badbury Hill near Coleshill in Oxfordshire. You will see a large Iron Age Hill Fort, which in the Dark Ages may have been a key battle site between ancient Celtic people of Britain and the encroaching Anglo-Saxons. Legend has it that King Arthur himself led the Celtic British victory here. You will also see an almost forgotten firing range, used to prepare Britain’s secret resistance fighters during the Second World War.
