Dolebury Warren
Description
Located not too far from the city center, this is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument - serious history buffs will love it (the less esoteric can ignore all that and just enjoy a great countryside walk here). Dolebury fort is an exceptional example of an Iron Age hill fort and has an adjacent Celtic field system, approximately 2000 years old and there is also a medieval rabbit warren - a definite contender for 'Strangest Attraction of the Year Award'! The best time of year to see the wildflowers and 29 species of butterflies on this limestone heath is from late May to August.
