Hod Hill

Explore the earthworks from both the Roman and Iron Age periods and imagine what it would've looked like thousands of years ago.

Take a closer look at the five entrances through the ramparts, two of which are Iron Age, two Roman and one medieval. And once inside the hill fort you'll see remains of buildings and property boundaries in the form of circular hollows and ridges.

Hod Hill is also home to a variety of plants and animals. The thin chalk soils on the steep ramparts are ideal for fine grasses, sedges and flowers and these attract a wealth of butterflies.

Hod Hill is one of those special places best explored on foot and makes a great setting for a  walk on a beautiful crisp winter's day. Discover the extensive earthworks or learn more about Hod Hill's butterflies on one of our walking trails.
