Before You Die: an Iron Age Fort by Nick Maes

There are two Caradoc’s in Shropshire and both are lovely. A summer’s day on Caer Caradoc near Leintwardine and the distant Welsh hills look hazy and flat. This is a truly ancient place – yet the iron-age hill fort that crowns the hill is still very much apparent. Grasshoppers buzz in the fine dry grass and buzzards circle in blue skies overhead. Be sure to take a simple picnic. Nick Maes
