Cadbury Camp

Cadbury Camp

Cadbury Camp is an Iron Age [ [http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-chl/w-countryside_environment/w-archaeology/w-archaeology-places_to_visit.htm National Trust archaeology page] ] hill fort in Somerset, England, near the village of Tickenham. Local legends associate it with Arthurian England and Camelot, though these may be due to confusion with the better-known Cadbury Castle, near South Cadbury some 50 miles to the south. The hill fort is well preserved, and is managed by the National Trust.
