Catcote Village Archaeological Site
Catcote Village is a settlement that existed 2,000 years ago.  Although there is nothing to see at ground level, below ground archaeologists have discovered remains of what was a major indigenous farming settlement that spanned 200BC to 400AD.  There is an exhibition about ‘Catcote Village’ in the Visitor Centre.

Sculpture & Arts
There are a number of sculptures and arts features around Summerhill.  Pick up a guide leaflet to search for giant metal insects, the Brooklyn Hare and the Longscar Sound Beacon – a feature that plays a specially composed song to those who stand underneath it.

Hedgerows
The hedgerows around Summerhill are the oldest habitat for wildlife.  The network of hedgerows, some of which are over 200 years old, have been incorporated into the site.  The hedges are managed and new hedgerows have been planted.

Cross Country Routes
Summerhill is a major venue for cross-country running competitions.  Tracks and paths around the site have been highlighted events providing undulating (and muddy!) courses for the off-road runner and cyclist.

Orienteering
Summerhill has been mapped for orienteering and a permanent course set.  We run a variety of orienteering activities from school competitions to smaller fun picture quizzes.
