Edge Hill is an escarpment and Edgehill[1][2] a hamlet in the civil parish of Ratley and Upton, Stratford-on-Avon District, southern Warwickshire, England. At Ratley, the escarpment rises to 219 m (719 ft) above sea level and 112 m (367 ft) above nearby Radway, within 300 metres of the Warwickshire border with Oxfordshire.[3]
Edge Hill gave its name to the first battle of the English Civil War, in which it was a prominent feature.
The hamlet has a public house, an eccentric building of local Hornton Stone called the Castle Inn[4] that was built in the 1740s to the designs of Sanderson Miller (1716–80).[5] It is controlled by the Hook Norton Brewery.[6]
