Great views but the wind can be a feature

Fabulous walk allowing you to see the stone monuments erected 3,800 years BC. Special attention when you park by the road as there are thief’s that break your car window and take your belongings. This couple that arrive 10 minutes before us had their passports stolen! We opted to park in Salford and do the walk starting there. Safe parking there and plenty of spaces.

Read up on the fascinating history attached to the Whispering Knights stones, the third of the Rollright Stones collection in Oxfordshire.

The Battle of Edgehill (or Edge Hill) was a pitched battle of the First English Civil War. It was fought near Edge Hill and Kineton in southern Warwickshire on Sunday, 23 October 1642. All attempts at constitutional compromise between King Charles and Parliament broke down early in 1642. Both the King and Parliament raised large armies to gain their way by force of arms. In October, at his temporary base near Shrewsbury, the King decided to march to London in order to force a decisive confrontation with Parliament's main army, commanded by the Earl of Essex. Late on 22 October, both armies unexpectedly found the enemy to be close by. The next day, the Royalist army descended from Edge Hill to force battle. After the Parliamentarian artillery opened a cannonade, the Royalists attacked. Both armies consisted mostly of inexperienced and sometimes ill-equipped troops. Many men from both sides fled or fell out to loot enemy baggage, and neither army was able to gain a decisive advantage.

Indeed great views over the Cotswolds hills. Worth a quick stop.

Remember to always keep a pace when going up a big hill
