CAESAR'S CAMP ALDERSHOT
Caesar's Camp at Aldershot is an Iron Age hill fort thought to be around 2600 years old. It is located on Military Land in the borough of Rushmoor District Council. It is considered to be an entirely hand built complex. The camp has suffered bad erosion, both natural and man made, unsurprisingly for a site which is well over 2000 years old. King Alfred was supposed to have camped here when driving the Danes towards the Thames. British Telecom Tower and Canary Wharf can be seen from there on clear days with binoculars.
