The aptly named Castle Hill in Huddersfield, England, can be seen for miles around in all directions. It is by far Huddersfield's most conspicuous landmark. Victoria Tower is the current structure on top of it, built in 1897 as a memorial for Queen Victoria who had then been in power for 60 years, but other forts and castles have been erected here for as long as 4000 years ago.
Quite a contrast to yesterdays misty weather, today it was extremely clear; barely a cloud in the sky. It was cold, barely above 0 Celsius, but the wind was still.
We started our walk near the tower. The immediate landscape in all directions is comprised of wide open green fields, with plenty of trees dotted around, lines of which are often used to separate fields.
With winter setting in most of the trees have now lost their leaves, but some still hang on to their remaining few, giving off a nice orange hue.
Bex has a short rest with Isaac, with a lovely view of Castle Hill in the background.
Despite his elbow condition, Ted looks up at us like he wants to keep moving. We march onward.
With wide open spaces, great views, an always present castle hill, and a nice variety of trees, this walk is one of our local favourites.
