Spotting nature at Badbury
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.
Coleshill orange walk is ideal for ramblers with its abundance of wildlife to spot and its passage through two picturesque working farms.
Coleshill brown walk is a gentle woodland stroll. Perfect for wildlife spotting all year and bluebells in late spring. If you bring the kids (or the big kids!) you could always have a go at building a den.
