Castle Hill, Huddersfield. Iron Age Brigantine hillfort, Norman castle, medieval village and a Victorian tower.

It is home to numerous legends. The devil is said to have made a great leap here from Netherton Scar. A dragon guards its hoard in the hill and a golden cradle is reputed to be hidden in the ditches.

Camulodunum to the Romans. Wormcliffe in the early medieval period. Dark deeds were committed in the dungeon of the castle.

For #StandingStoneSunday, the Swinside Stone Circle, aka Sunkenkirk Circle, legend is that an attempted church build here failed - Devil kept pulling it down. Not sure of that but the cows were keeping clear (I’m in the center). From a ‘93 trip with a friend, wandering in pursuit of stone circles and Neolithic sites, this was pre-Internet & pre in-car GPS so a bit of a fun challenge for a couple of wayward Americans, in addition to remembering to keep on the left.
