Edge Hill, Warwickshire

Edge Hill is an escarpment and Edgehill[1][2] a hamlet in the civil parish of Ratley and Upton, Stratford-on-Avon District, southern Warwickshire, England.

The hamlet has a public house, an eccentric building of local Hornton Stone called the Castle Inn[4] that was built in the 1740s to the designs of Sanderson Miller (1716–80).

[6] The narrow wood on the scarp of Edge Hill, in the south-east overlooks the lower slope and the plain on which the battle was fought.

From Edge Hill, the ground drops steeply, levels out, then rises to Battleton Holt and a little beyond it are the Oaks and Graveground Copice.

In 1643, following reports of ghostly sightings published by a printer Thomas Jackson, the King sent a Royal commission to visit the site, where they claimed to have seen two phantom armies fighting in the sky above them.
