Daventry’s very own Jurassic Park! The hill capped with a layer of Jurassic sandstone owes its shape to the retreating glaciers of the last Ice Age. The hill was once home to the BBC’s World Service transmission centre & maintained a strong presence from 1925 -1992. One of the largest ancient hill forts in the country, there is also evidence of Roman and Saxon activity, of which some of these discoveries can be seen in the British Museum in London. The Hill is now maintained by Daventry District Council as a leisure amenity and offers a great place to walk & take in some of the views that stretch across many counties. It offers a diverse range of environments, open grassland & wooded areas, that provide a haven for wildlife.
