More about this scene

It was on the escarpment of Edge Hill (in the background of this photograph) that Charles I unfurled his standard in 1642 before the first major battle of the Civil War. The actual battle took place below the escarpment in the much flatter area between Radway and Kineton. It is forbidden to visit the battlefield today because it is occupied by a Ministry of Defence depot.
