From its western lowlands to the high Heath and Ermine Street human communities have impacted on the natural environment and used the landscape of the Cliffe Edge in different ways through time. We will look at the traces of their endeavours, from the Neolithic pits of Leadenham through Roman Navenby to medieval Churches, Castles and Templars. It is the story of the Cliffe Edge, its people, its settlements, its landscape and the development of this distinctive region.
