Welcome to Mount Skippett

Mount Skippett is a hill located in Oxfordshire, England. It is situated near the village of Chipping Norton and is a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. The hill offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and birds of prey.

The hill is also steeped in history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Iron Age. The remains of an ancient hill fort can still be seen on the summit, and there are also several burial mounds in the area. In more recent times, Mount Skippett was used as a training ground for the British Army during World War II.

Today, Mount Skippett is a peaceful and tranquil place, perfect for a leisurely walk or a picnic with friends and family. The hill is easily accessible by car or on foot, and there are several footpaths and trails that lead to the summit. Whether you're a nature lover, a history buff, or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Mount Skippett is definitely worth a visit.
