Entrance to another world

Image: © Neil Owen Taken: 10 Jun 2013

An Iron Age world! Worlebury has a long history and a quite unusual one - the remains date back to around 300B.C. and the occupation by members of what the Romans called the Dobunni. They built a rather elaborate hill top fort and this is one of the entrances. They also built some impressive stone walls that were about 10m (35ft) thick at the base and some 8m (27ft) tall.
