Downton Village

Highlight • Historical Site

Downton is a charming village situated along the River Avon. A Roman villa has been discovered here, and on high ground, the remains of an Iron Age hillfort are still visible today.

Downton hosts the annual Cuckoo Fair which offers visitors some 250+ craft stalls, live music, and entertainment.

With a brewery and plenty of facilities, Downton makes a great base to explore the River Avon and the New Forest from.

The Moot and Moot House, Downton

Highlight • Historical Site

Hidden away in the tiny village of Downton, the Moot is the remains of an 11th century motte and bailey castle. Like much of this region, Downton is the home of numerous historic discoveries dating back to neolithic times and the Moot is actually next to the remains of a Roman Villa.

The earthworks that can be walked around today are from a Norman castle and form part of extensive landscaped gardens. Free to the public, this is a perfect spot for a mosey about and a cracking open of the thermos flask.

Moot House was built in the 1600s and landscaped the castle earthworks. They had an earthen amphitheatre built which saw many plays performed, particularly Shakespeare's.
