About Bury Ditches Hill Fort Car Park

This free car park is the starting point for the three waymarked walks and the cycle route along the forest road. There are also bike stands to allow cyclists to lock up their bikes in the car park.

Bury Ditches has recently been the focus of an innovative interpretation project. Come amd meet Llew and hunt for the things he has lost on site.

The new interpretation continues the tradition of having information for visually impared visitors on this exceptional site. The pannel in the car park has a relief diagram of the hill fort and information in Braille.
