Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover%27s_Hill

"A natural amphitheatre on a spur of the Cotswolds, with views over the Vale of Evesham. Dover's Hill was the site of the original English Olympic Games, which began here 400 years ago in 1612. The tradition continues with the annual Cotswold Olimpicks - a fun-packed day for all ages.

Of course, there's much more to this historical amphitheatre than just fun and games. This mixture of grassland and woodland includes the site of a Roman vineyard and is also home to a variety of birds, insects and wild flowers. The grassy hillside is a great place to spot butterflies and wild flowers in the summer months "
