If you have time, try to walk around the Hill Fort! Cadbury Castle is a Bronze and Iron Age hillfort associated with King Arthur's legendary court at Camelot. The site was reused by the Roman forces and again from c. 470 until some time after 580. In the c11th century, it temporarily housed a Saxon mint.
