I spent my childhood in England so saw my share of castles. The ancient feature that impressed me most though was forty five years ago.
Back for a visit I was walking a stretch of Roman Road called High Street across the high moors of the Lake District in NW England, fifteen miles between two Roman Fort sites, a route following an even earlier pathway and used across the Centuries by successive groups since.
You could see the track snaking out before you across the hills, at one place passing a ancient stone circle, the original purpose of which long lost in the mists of time.
There’s been a major archeological exploration of High Street beginning this summer, be interesting to see what they find.
