Welcome to Westdown Camp

Westdown Camp is a prehistoric site located in Wiltshire, England. It is believed to have been used as a ceremonial site during the Neolithic period, around 3000 BC. The site consists of a large circular enclosure, surrounded by a ditch and bank. Inside the enclosure, there are several smaller circular features, which are thought to have been used for rituals or burials. Westdown Camp is one of the most important prehistoric sites in Wiltshire, and it is a popular destination for tourists and archaeologists alike.

The site was first excavated in the 1920s, and since then, it has been the subject of numerous archaeological studies. These studies have revealed that Westdown Camp was used for a variety of purposes over the centuries. In addition to its use as a ceremonial site, it was also used as a settlement during the Iron Age, and as a burial ground during the Roman period. The site is now protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, and visitors can explore the remains of the enclosure and the surrounding landscape.

Westdown Camp is situated in a beautiful location, surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields. The site is easily accessible by car or public transport, and there is ample parking available nearby. Visitors can take a guided tour of the site, or explore it on their own. There are also several walking trails in the area, which offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Whether you are interested in history, archaeology, or simply enjoy exploring the great outdoors, Westdown Camp is a must-visit destination in Wiltshire.
