Foxby Hill, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, site of the Battle of Gainsborough, 1643. The Royalist force under Cavendish was positioned at the top of the hill (just beyond the two trees in this picture). It is across this ground that the Parliamentarians charged into the Royalists. There was never anything romantic about civil war battles, and we can imagine dead and maimed men and horses littering the hillside.
