Castle Hill (Road) PDF Print
Written by Steven Dowd   
I wonder how many people driving down Newton high St, know that the road to the left of St Peters Church , Castle Hill , actually goes to it.



This road is clearly visable going straight across the fields towards the mound, at some points the trackway (road) is over 2 meters higher than the surrounding fields.



This next image will take a while to download as its 150kb, sorry its a little larger than normal, but its a full 360 degree view of the area.



You can see clearly in this view that the Castle Hill Rd, snakes across the fields from Newton high st directly to the mound, The M6 moterway being the first thing to break the trackway in hundreds of years.
