      Dorset Hilltop- Nortent Skjul Bivvi Camp

      Late July 2025

      Another hillfort, and another hill in Dorset.

      The hillfort itself has plenty of options for camping. The ramparts are high, some overgrown with brambles and ferns, while on the summit there’s a large flat grassy area with no trees, just a few sheep grazing. I picked a spot on a narrow path on top of a rampart path. The ferns either side offered shelter from the wind and away from the main entrance path.

      It was a quiet night. I bagged a trig point and saw no one during my stay. The weather wasn’t the best, so I think that helped keep visitors away.
