Bury Hill Camp, South Gloucestershire added to Iconic Landscapes and Ancient Sites in South West by gasbag43 on 16/07/2025

Bury Hill is an Iron-Age hillfort delineated by bivallate defences (i.e. (2 walls) enclosing an ovoid area with three entrances situated at the western end of a low promontory overlooking the River Frome.

The Iron Age fort was built about 700 BC. The double earth ramparts are well preserved except on the western side. One side of the fort is along a steep hill edge above the River Frome, the other 3 sides are flat. The flat sides have been destroyed by quarrying. There is a central ditch, with ramparts built on both the inner and outer sides of the ditches.

Occupation of the site began much earlier than the building of the fort in the palaeolithic period (between 3.3m and 11650 years ago) evidenced by a general spread of flint chippings and an edged blade, while a polished stone mace-head attests to activity during the Mesolithic (10000 to 4000 years BC).

The next confirmed occupation being during the Iron-Age when the visible defences were constructed. After a period of inactivity, the site was seemingly reoccupied during the latter part of Roman rule in Britain, as evidenced by a number of pottery finds recovered from within the defended area dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD

Kirby Hall, Corby, Corby (By D0c.Col)

Built in 1570, this grand Elizabethan mansion was meant to impress — and it still does, even in ruin. It began as a vision by Sir Humphrey Stafford, however, regrettably he tragically died without ever seeing it fully completed. In 1575, the nearly finished house was bought by Sir Christopher Hatton.

The hall was stabilized in the 20th century and Rather than restore the entire building to its original state, conservationists embraced a “romantic ruin” approach — preserving its grandeur while allowing the passage of time to be part of its story.
The roofless wings and decayed sections were stabilized, while some key rooms (like the Great Hall and state apartments) were restored to reflect their late 17th- and 18th-century appearances.

Today, cared for by English Heritage, Kirby Hall stands in elegant ruin — part stately home, part ghost of glory. A place where echoes live on in stone, shadow, and story.

The carpark is easily located and signposted so shouldn't be an issue. There is a public path that runs passed the hall and the EH Ticket office and I TOAL in the field entered through the gate next to the ticket office hut. Great line of sight from here.

Buxbury Hill tumulus, Salisbury (By gasbag43)

Buxbury Hill Tumulus, also known as a round barrow, is a prehistoric burial mound located on Buxbury Hill in Sutton Mandeville, Wiltshire.


It's a scheduled monument and is situated in an area of undulating chalk downland with views of the Wylye Valley. The tumulus is a wooded conical mound, approximately 25 meters in diameter and about 2 meters high. It's a prominent feature in the landscape and is visible from the foot of the hill and indeed the main A30 road.

Looking at the local OS map, there are a number of other long barrows on the same escarpment close by, but this looks to be the largest (and most visible) of the cluster.

At the base of the hill on which it is located is the regimental badge of the Warwickshire regiment. Its origin is the same as the better known series of badges cut into the hillside 2 miles further down the road in Fovant – there were created by soldiers garrisoned nearby, and waiting to go to France, during the First World War.

While I was aware of the Fovant badges and their story and visited them several times in the past, I hadn’t appreciated how large the garrison camps must have been along the valley to have stretched this far down the valley. It is recorded that in excess of 20,000 soldiers would have been based there at any one time.

Compton Park House, Salisbury (By gasbag43)

Compton Park House is a Grade I listed manor house in Compton Chamberlayne in Wiltshire, about 7 miles (11 km) east of Salisbury. It was built circa 1600

It was the seat of the Penruddocke (or Penruddock) family from the mid-16th century until 1930. They were a notable Royalist family, with Colonel John Penruddock, an owner of the house, being the namesake for the failed 1655 Penruddock uprising against Oliver Cromwell. For this he was tried and executed at Exeter on 16 May 1655.

The present house occupies the site of a medieval manor house. It has been a Grade I listed building since 1960.

The house is set in parkland, once a medieval deer park, overlooking a lake formed by damming a stream running north into the River Nadder. The park contains a folly in the form of a summer house (the folly is marked separately on Drone Scene but having flown around it, its not as impressive a sight as the house, gardens and lake).

In the foreground of the shot is the 13th century church of St Michaels built when Salisbury Cathedral was rising ten miles away. The church is thus three hundred years older than the great house which, with it, dominates and graces the valley.

Cublington Spinney and Airport Monument, Aylesbury Vale (By BituWilliams)

This a secluded little spinney that no one really knows about. I never see anyone there. There is seating and lots of trees along with some wires.

This is a great location to go if you want to train your FPV drone and only really worry about hitting trees and not other people or buildings. There are three parts to the spinney where you can train by dodging benches, trees, small wooden huts etc..

You can bring the family. The kids can run around =, whilst you fly and someone else watches as your spotter.

Bury Wood Camp, North Wiltshire (By gasbag43)

Bury Wood Camp hillfort is a well-preserved Iron Age hillfort located on a promontory of Colerne Down in Wiltshire.

The enclosed area is large as you can see from the photo - approximately 9.2ha and surrounded by a ditch 4m wide and up to 1m deep, with an outer rampart up to 1.5m high on the east and northwestern sides and up to 2m high on the southwestern side, across the neck of the promontory.

The contours of the land provide excellent natural defences to the north and east sides. On the southwestern side, where there are no natural defences, there is a further ditch 4m wide and 1m deep and an outer rampart up to 2m high and 3m wide

The building of the hill fort can be dated to about 350 BC, but various Neolithic and Mesolithic flint tools were found, indicating a much earlier use.

As well as its historical significance, it’s a lovely location for woodland exploration (by foot and drone)

Membury Camp, Kennet (By gasbag43)

Membury Camp, or Membury Fort, is the site of an Iron Age hill fort located in England on the borders of Wiltshire and Berkshire counties, (the majority of the site lies within Wiltshire).

The site encompasses 14 hectares, and is situated in the south-western corner of a small plateau.

The east side of the earthwork has been partly destroyed by the construction of a wartime airfield, RAF Membury. The site has not been excavated but a number of prehistoric finds have been found in the vicinity.

There is a public footpath that runs through the site and bridleways to the east and south of the site. A busy motorway lies to the immediate north and northeast. The motorway services station Membury services, and the wartime airfield, RAF Membury, also lie to the immediate north east
