Chastleton/Evenlode walk






Some of the sights along our 4.5 mile walk.  The circular walk started and ended at Chastleton House (last photo), a fine example of Jacobean architecture, built between 1607 and 1612 by a wealthy wool merchant.  It had continuous ownership by an increasingly impoverished family for over 400 years, until 1991 when it was acquired by the National Trust.
