Heritage Sites
We have progressed to our last Europe stop, this time around. Along the way we checked out the Maiden's Lair. This is a hilltop fortification established during Roman times. They dug channels and piled dirt as high as possible to form defensive walls. We found our way to a back road, another one of these single track narrow roads. The navigator said you have arrived. About 1km from here I spied a broken down gate and fence which was pointing the right way. We broke into a farmers paddock and parked on his field. Sure enough on top was the maiden's castle.
