Could you tell me where it is on this map Cath?

Will --HOPE YOU GOT MY INSTRUCTIONS.
If not, the place is about where the name Hartshill is on your map.
Quite surprisingly it is on Castle rd.
Right now the fields surrounding the castle are ankle deep in mud .and the nosey horses don't help.
Last week I went in with plastic carrier bags covering my shoes, held on with elastic bands. Forgot the wellies!
It would be best to wait 'til it's a bit drier for a visit, which can easily be arranged with the owner.
It is the most beautiful place in Spring and.especially when the Mayblossom is out.
Ishall send some more photo's later.

Yes I got your instructions, but unfortunately castle road is quite long, and I don't see anything that obviously looks like a castle. Hence me asking if any of the places I've highlighted are correct?

If you go from the Nuneaton direction and pass what they call 'Hartshill green' on your left- (there is a pub there too I cant rememberthe name) and, driving carefully along the main road, on the left you will see some flats-whitish colour.The castle is opposite the flats. the other side of a low wall across a sloping field. If you see a sign saying cemetery- you have just passed it.You can only see the ruined wall from the road.
I shall be going latish next Monday morning with my wellies or plastic bags on my feet.

Hi Cath,

I only really have the satellite image to go on, not living near the area. If you could just show me if I've got it right from any of the points I've indicated on the image above, that would be the best way.

**Will** · 07-03-2007, 10:55 PM

This image is the one I meant rather.

hi , Idont know how to mark your map.but castle rd is not very long and on the google map it is facing castle view but it is not clear . Ithink the photo was taken before the foliage was removed so all you see is a green patch.
My garden looks the same too so the maps must be fairly old.
I'm afraid the only thing to do is to bravely go into the depths of North Warwickshire and see for yourself. It is not too alien here.

Many years ago =in my other life =I was a nurse at Warnford hospital and lived in Woodcote rd, leam.spa so it was quite a culture shock to come here -I must have been a snobby so and so .but I integrated well and hope I have improved.

Was just after a general idea if the marks I'd made were correct or not, or if it were possible to explain where it was in relation to them. As much as I'd like to mark on our interactive map where this castle is, I'm not going on a trip to North Warwickshireshire to do it.

Scared ?

**Will** · 11-03-2007, 09:13 PM

Nope, just a long way to go just so I can put a mark on a map.
