Summary
| Description |
English: Access land west of the Mid Wilts Way near Heddington. Beacon Hill is a pleasant and popular area of access land. In essence it is a predominantly west-facing chalk escarpment. Peaceful now, once it was the site of the end-game of the Battle of Roundway Down that took place during the English Civil War. On the 13th July 1643, had you been an observer here, you would have seen the routed cavalry of the Parliamentary forces seeking to escape Royalist forces tumbling end over end down this scarp into what became known as 'Bloody Ditch'.
