Great views but the wind can be a feature

This was a damp, drizzly, mizzly evening so the view was a bit limited. However, I imagine that on a sunny, summer evening or a crisp, clear winters morning the views will be spectacular.

This is the location of the Battle of Edgehill, a pitched battle of the First English Civil War occurring on Sunday 23rd October 1642. A detailed information board stands here describing how the event unfolded, offering a fascinating window into the area's past.

Enjoy fantastic views as you run through the countryside toward Wroxton Obelisk. In the spring and summer months, you will be delighted by a gorgeous display of blooming flowers that create a very picturesque setting.

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.

Not sure what's it for but cool to walk past.

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