A 20-minute walk into the Swinley Forest from the Look Out Discover Centre will bring you to an Iron Age hill fort covering 17 acres and encircled by a mile-long ditch. Caesar’s Camp is a name given to many Iron Age sites around the country, and has no obvious link to the Romans. But that doesn’t make this 2,500-year-old site any less intriguing. It’s easy to make out the steep rows of earthwork ramparts that formed the defences, and the council has installed a series of interpretation panels illustrating Iron Age society and the possible political and commercial activity that took place at Caesar’s Camp. Birds like nightjars and woodlarks make a habitat on the site, while at the highest points you can look across central Bracknell to the north.

Lovely, hilly walks. An Iron Age Hill Fort was there 2400 years ago, there is information on this located here. Very lovely long walks. There are also some extreme biking paths here.
