モリントンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

great place to stop off

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

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.

strange 'castle', with nice views.

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.

Cropedy is a picturesque village situated along the Oxford Canal just north of Banbury. The village hosts the annual Fairport Convention festival and has a number of lovely cafes and pubs worth visiting.

Chipping Warden is a typically pretty village for the area. Smaller than some of its more famous neighbours but no less picturesque. A good spot to rest and seek refreshment.

Chipping Warden is a Northamptonshire village with a rich history. On the River Cherwell, to the east, are the remains of a Roman villa, while just to the south of the village is an Iron Age hillfort, Arbury Banks. The village sits on the Jurassic Way long-distance trail. Walkers in need of a pitstop will be delighted that there are two pubs: the Griffin and the Rose and Crown.
