A walk up Brimsdown Hill, with its spectacular views of the 3 counties of Wilts, Somerset and Dorset, and the ancient Ritual landscape.
Cold Kitchen Hill: rich in ancient history, it’s thought to derive its name from the Brittonic Col Cruachan, meaning ‘Hill of the Wizard’, or possibly a hill that was once inhabited and then abandoned. Once the site of an important Romano-Celtic temple, it’s the perfect location to view the sacred ritual landscape of the past.
What do we know about the people that lived here? I’ve been delving into the archaeological records and it’s changed and enriched the way I see the landscape of my childhood.
Come and hear the stories of this land that are waiting to be told!
We will descend through beautiful ancient woodland and back through the village, home to Longleat – with it’s own rich history to share.
