Torside Castle

close

Planning a walk in the Peaks I noticed what looks on the map like a big earthwork in the middle of nowhere (Bleaklow, about as middle of nowhere as they come) called Torside Castle. I looked it up on google today to see if it would be worth a visit, and have found descriptions from "prehistoric earthwork" and "bronze age burial" (both reasons to climb up and see it and get it on TMA) to "roman burial" and "terrifying presence...evil...devil's bonfires.." (none of which merit a TMA entry. And I might not like being persued by a terrible dark presence on my day off).
Any ideas?

Hey up,

I know the head ranger for Bleaklow and she's heard all the prehistoric and Roman burial theories for the place but she reckons it's natural......although there have been a few stories of strange lights up there.
