Jacobs Ladder is a flight of stone steps up to Edge Hill. Great views across Warwickshire from the top.

The path is difficult to see on this section of the walk. It is definitely there and hasn't been obliterated by plants and weeds growing on or through it. However, the foliage on either side of the path has grown over it. Extra care needs to be taken as the path is also very narrow where it runs along the edge of the escarpment and it's difficult to identify the edge. One false step and it would be a steep and dangerous tumble down the hill.

Edgehill Castle (Tower) which is now a rather nice pub/restaurant. The castle was built in the 18th Century as a 'sham' castle reputedly on the exact spot where Charles I raised his standard before the Battle of Edgehill during the first English Civil War. Apparently Cromwell got there too late for the battle.

The Waterloo Obelisk, situated to the north of Edge Hill Tower, was erected in 1854 to commemorate Fiennes Miller's gallantry at the battle of Waterloo. It's located in a picturesque spot next to a pond and overlooking the beautiful surrounding countryside of Warwickshire, so pause for a moment and enjoy the views.

On the walk you can walk through the farm land, but it will not bring you into the NT grounds. You'll come out through the car park. If you have a NT membership you can stop in, but there is lots to see there too.
