Eden Camp

Anyone got any idea as to what the earthworks are in the field next door to the camp?

All being sculpted but looks a bit random for a car park.

Hi Brian, According to the Malton Gazette & Herald, it is a multi million pound business park, I remember going to what is now Eden Camp in the 70s when it was an industrial estate. The site very nearly became a crisp factory until someone convinced Stan Johnson, who owned the site, that it was historically important and should be preserved, the rest as they say is history.

In my youth I lived in Ryedale and worked mostly around Malton & Pickering, which comes in handy for finding somewhere to park when I visit the Pickering wartime weekend, having family in Ryedale also helps.
