Very steep as it climbs up from the hamlet. According to the Charlestown History Group website http://charlestownhistory.org.uk/eastwood/highereastwood.html there was a tollhouse in the hamlet at one time. The tolls were levied on cartloads of stone travelling from quarries to the canal or railway in the valley.
