Whenever I visit a new location, mysterious or otherwise, I like to tick off as many of its places of interest as possible. And that's why, since my last report, I've crossed the town, the canal and the shopping centre and walked almost as far in the opposite direction. The village I've been aiming at is an unspoilt cluster of homes with pub and watermill, and nominally famous for an event I might once have visited if I'd had longer hair. It was named after the ruined keep on the hill, which is currently being filmed by a Dad with a drone he presumably got for Christmas, whirring across the grass and up to the flagpole. Several famous battles have been fought near here, one relatively recently in the woodland beyond. And there's a great view up here too, back across the rooftops of Mystery Town, making this an ideal place to finish. Apart from the hike back to the station, that is.
