Welcome to Mount Skippett

Mount Skippett is a hill located in Oxfordshire, England. It is situated near the village of Chipping Norton and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The hill offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds of prey.

The hill is also steeped in history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Iron Age.
