Nympsfield Long Barrow

Highlight • Historical Site

Nympsfield Long Barrow stands high on the Cotswold scarp and affords incredible views over the Severn Valley. Constructed in the Neolithic period (around 2800 BCE), it is one of the earliest examples of a barrow with separate chambers. The site has long the subject of legends and bizarre stories, including one that it was once a refuge for lepers.

The site is managed by English Heritage and is free to enter during daylight hours.
