Dover's Hill
Dover's Hill
A natural amphitheatre on a spur of the Cotswolds, with views over the Vale of Evesham
Dover's Hill was the site of the original English Olympic Games, which began here 400 years ago in 1612. The tradition continues with the annual Cotswold Olimpicks - a fun-packed day for all ages featuring the ancient art of Shin Kicking and tug-of-war. See http://www.olimpickgames.com for more details!
Of course, there's much more to this historical amphitheatre than just fun and games. This mixture of grassland and woodland includes the site of a Roman vineyard and is also home to a variety of birds, insects and wild flowers.
