The Castle at Edgehill

Highlight • Viewpoint

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 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.

Upton House and Gardens

Highlight • Monument

Upton House & Gardens is a National Trust-owned country mansion located in the northern tip of the Cotswolds in Warwickshire. You can catch glimpses of the stunning grounds and building for free, but to enter the house and gardens fully, and to see the impressive art collection that resides inside, you'll have to pay a fee. There is more information about this here nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwickshire/upton-house-and-gardens

"This obelisk is the most ambitious element in the local sculpture trail. It was constructed to mark the Millennium by the first female apprentice stonemason in the history of Hornton Quarry". The inscription around the top has on one face the letters MM, the year 2000 in Roman numerals. The other three faces bear the names of the villages in the parish: Ratley, Edgehill and Upton.
