Walk Instructions
1. From the main entrance turn left and when you reach
a road on the left signposted to Vernolds Common, turn
right onto a track opposite this road. Continue straight
up this track (ignoring farm tracks on the right) for nearly
900m. Here the track bends right, continue on it for
approximately a further 600m until you reach a house
on the left.
2. If you wish to see the centre of the hill fort (now a
field) go up a track opposite for about 30m and peep
over the gate and then return to the house.
3. The next part of the walk is a clockwise walk along
the ramparts of the hill fort, essentially going around
this field
4. Walk on the track with the house on your left onto
a grassy track.
At the first ‘Permissive Path’ way marker go straight on.
After 320m. turn right at the next ‘Public Footpath’ way
marker (not the 3 Woods Walk)
The path is now narrow along the top of the rampart and
goes up and down.
Keep to the top of the rampart.
There is a severe drop to the left.
5. After the short steep descent the path bends to the
right.
Walk onto a grassy path going downhill.
On reaching a track turn right and follow it as it bends to
the right.
(The hill fort is now on your right)
After 450m the house previously seen will be reached
6. This where the route joins the outward walk.
Retrace your steps to Upper Norton:
Turn left on the track before the house (no signs), after
600m the track bends left, stay on the track for nearly
900m until reaching the road, turn left and Upper Norton
will soon appear on the right.
