Maiden Castle - LARGEST hillfort in the UK!

Maiden Castle is one of the UK's oldest and largest Iron Age Hillforts, spanning a huge 47 acres across Dorset land.
Built in the Iron age, Maiden Castle served as a fortification for the Celtic people against both local and Roman invaders.
Join me, for a summer walk around this fascinating hillfort, which is steeped in ancient history and supernatural interest.

Thank you, Julie! Glad you enjoyed it!

My favourite walkabout beautiful dorchester, it’s amazing how important Bronze Age people built for safe haven. People had borders. Excellent vid 👍🏽

[@walkingthewyrd]

I agree! It's so beautiful out that way. It really is incredible how early man built these strong defences using just the earth and simple tools. Thank you for watching and commenting, Frankie.

A great overview of Maiden Castle - thanks. A lot easier than when we walked around in 1984. It looks like the sheep have decided on 'The Roman Temple' as their social gathering hub, the Roman Baa I believe they call it. Sorry about that. But thanks for the lovely walk around.

Largest Iron Age Hillfort in Europe!

Nice video, thank you. I visited the place just once in the summer of 1975. It was nice to see that it hasn't changed much essentially. The path steps seem to be new though!

[@walkingthewyrd]

I'm so glad it remains largely unchanged and that you could see it again through this video. Thank you for watching!

😂 Baa! You have your first critic! It must have been the Roswell comment! 😜

[@walkingthewyrd]

To be honest, I think that's definitely warranted! 😄

The largest hill fort in Britain and probably the largest in Western Europe!

PS The Dorset County Museum in Dorchester is not to be missed either, when you go to MC.

[@walkingthewyrd]

It is a fabulous museum, I'm pleased to say I've been there too.
