Badbury Rings



Badbury Rings is one of the most impressive Iron Age forts in the country.
Its three great concentric ramparts are well preserved, and encompass a huge area:
the circumference of the fort is nearly one mile (1.6 kilometres), and some of the ditches are over sixty feet (18 metres) deep.
Alongside the fort is Ackling Dyke: part of a Roman road that ran from Dorchester to Old Sarum (the original Salisbury).

New pictures are always posted at the bottom of this gallery.
