I was fortunate
enough to pass the Chesterton formation yesterday whilst taking a
family trip to Birmingham, so on the way back we stopped off to get
a closer look and take some pictures.
We parked in a lay by around the south side of the windmill, which
takes you along the Fosse way up to the windmill and the circle.
From images attached, please note there is something else there, on
the south side, something which I can only describe as a "key".
My son and I, followed the path of the Fosse way, up to the
windmill, but could not gain access this way. So we doubled back
towards the entrance of the field where you need to move down 4
tramlines to follow the right one into the formation.
However, by the time we got back to the entrance, it was starting to
rain. It was already very late, so had to abandon going in. We met a
couple who were going to brave it, but I did not hang around to see
if they did!
I am reminded of the way in which light is bent and refracted by a
prism. What I find most interesting though, is the key. I think
there is a BIG clue here; hopefully someone can get some aerial
pictures of this formation.
