Uley Bury

It's primarily a magnificent Iron Age hillfort, one of the largest and best-preserved examples in the region, dating back over 2000 years. You can clearly see the impressive multi-layered earthworks and ditches that once formed its formidable defences. Taking a stroll around the ramparts here offers not only a tangible connection to early British history but also absolutely breathtaking panoramic views across the Uley valley, stretching out towards the Severn Vale and beyond. While its origins are firmly in the Iron Age, there's also evidence of Roman activity and possibly a small settlement or villa nearby, adding another layer to its rich past. It’s a fantastic place for a walk, allowing you to immerse yourself in both the landscape and centuries of history. Afterwards, you might consider visiting nearby Owlpen, or perhaps heading towards Nympsfield or Kingscote for a change of scenery. Leonard Stanley and Bagpath are also within easy reach.
