Durotriges Project

If you haven't been to HAM HILL Country park Somerset, then you really should 😍

An excellent visitor centre (with cafe), extensive walks, a pub and the huge earthen ramparts of Britain's largest Iron Age hillfort with extensive views out across the Somerset Levels

Also great new information boards which mention the Durotriges a lot 😀

(we love information boards especially those that mention the Durotriges a lot) 👍
