Musbury Castle is an Iron Age hillfort situated on a wooded hill near the village of Musbury, not far from Lyme Regis. Unlike more open hillforts, it is largely covered by trees, giving it a secluded, enchanting feel. The site features double ramparts and ditches, now overgrown. Visitors can explore the network of paths through the woods, discovering the earthworks and occasional glimpses of the surrounding countryside. It's a quiet spot for history enthusiasts and walkers.

Don't miss

  • Explore the well-preserved double ramparts and ditches hidden among the trees.
  • Enjoy a peaceful woodland walk with a sense of discovery.
  • Look for glimpses of the Axe Valley and coast through the trees.
