The bank across the the brow
In a time before kings and queens; before Tudors and battles of Hastings, before Viking raids and Roman roads, in a time before prophets and priests, writing and records - people lived here, and built this BIG EARTH BANK and ditch.
How many other people have walked down from this hill into the valley below? Whether to hunt, forage, collect water, gather up sheep, or travel to places far and wide - who knows? But now you have too!
Follow the Shropshire Way back down the valley to the ford and cross back to the camp site.
But before you do - this audio will tell you more about the camp
Brow Farm's Hillforts Walk is a two-mile walk up into the hills on the other side of the river. You'll get to visit two Iron Age hillforts that few people have walked to in recent years because they weren't on a footpath. With Farmer John's premission we've opened up a route for you to explore.
It's a bit of a climb if you are not used to it (even if you are you'll find it a good challenge) but the views are well worth the effort. If taking a dog or dogs, please keep them on their leads if there's sheep or cows about.
Keep an eye on the weather - as there's no shelter up there and it's VERY exposed (if in doubt take a coat). Please leave gates as you find them. If you are taking a picnic, please don't leave any litter, or light any fires.
