What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Bunbury hillfort: a univallate hillfort south west of Alton Towers as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Bunbury hillfort is a univallate hillfort, likely dating to the early medieval period, situated south west of Alton Towers. While primarily a defensive or territorial structure, local folklore sometimes associates such hillforts with fairy realms or ancient magical sites, though specific legends about this one are not widely recorded.
