About:
Badbury Hill is an area of woodland with great views of the Thames flood plain to the north and the historic market town of Faringdon to the east.
The remains of an Iron Age hill fort from about 600BC are close to the car park in Badbury Clump, famous for its beech trees and bluebells.
The woodland paths and trails are perfect for family adventures and play.
Follow the pink route to enjoy a short woodland walk taking in the Iron Age hillfort. Legend has it that King Arthur himself led the Celtic British victory here. You will also see an almost forgotten firing range, used to prepare Britain’s secret resistance fighters during the Second World War.
Badbury Woods is the perfect place to unwind and have a moment or two to yourself. With its winding paths, beautiful vistas and hidden places it's has a wonderfully meditative atmosphere.
You can do forest bathing at any time throughout the year. We recommend visiting Badbury at the quieter times or outside peak hours, however there are so many spaces you can usually find a quiet spot.
