Old Oswestry Hillfort – this spectacular, dramatic & mysterious 3,000-year-old hill fort marks the beginning of one of Britain’s oldest settlements, Oswestry. Old Oswestry was built and occupied during the Iron Age (800 BC to AD 43) and is one of the best-preserved hill forts in Britain. It is on the outskirts of town and a short climb will reward you with views of both the town and the county of Shropshire.
It is a mythical place, said to have been the birthplace of King Arthur’s Queen Guinevere. Bring your imagination and think of the battles that might once have been here. Visit in Spring to see the carpet of bluebells or anytime to see the wildlife and all of Shropshire.
The site is just north of Oswestry, accessible from Llwyn Road, sat nav SY11 1EW. Free entry, open any reasonable time during daylight hours. Note: Animals graze on the hillfort, so watch out for the notices and ensure dogs are kept under control.
