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.
The hillfort offered great views of the surrounding area. It was a quiet night and I bagged a trig point. I was fortunate to see no one else all night, but I think that was partly due to the weather, which wasn’t the best, so I think that helped keep visitors away.
