Belas Knap
Summary
A chambered tomb dating from about 1400BC. Thirty eight skeletons were discovered in the tomb, and these and other artifacts can be seen in the village folk museum in Winchecombe.
Getting there
There is a small layby with parking for several cars. Please heed the posted warnings and do not leave valuable items in your vehicle! From the parking area a moderately steep climb along a reasonably well-marked trail leads uphill through several fields to the site of Belas Knap. The climb will take at least 10 minutes, but the resulting views are well worth the effort.
