On this part of the hike I am skirting the Rowberrow Iron Age Hillfort which I visited in May of this year on another massive hike going in the opposite direction---This place is full of history--so much history and has a magical quality--From the Iron Age Peoples and Saxon tribes to the Romans and Victorians--the miners of Rowberrow and Shipham worked in these hills and smelting kilns  can still be seen in the undergrowth---now a lush  green place with the tall  pine trees of Rowberrow Warren reaching high in the sky--great reference points for miles..This track hugs the  sides of the fort and is embraced by it----a hot sunny day to enjoy the beauty all around
