Barbury Castle
It was a beautiful day for a visit to an Iron Age fort - as you can see from the pictures below!

In the afternoon, we flew kites, made field sketches and went on a (fairly short!) hike along the Ridgeway. It was a beautiful day - although Mr Shammas's high-vis t-shirt was a magnet for flies...
