The new destination is Forge & Vine\, which is about ¼ mile from Gibbet Hill. Forge & Vine features a wood-fired open kitchen\, and serves a variety of dishes\, including steak\, poultry\, lamb\, pork\, and seafood. Please budget $40.00-80.00 per person\, excluding drinks.

When he ran out of money\, he sold the property\, and it eventually passed into the hands of the Groton Hunt Club\, which used the Castle for hunting parties\, dances\, dinners and outings. In 1932 a fire started by careless trespassers with fireworks destroyed most of the home leaving only the ruins of the observation tower intact. We should arrive at the Castle around sunset for some nice views of the surrounding countryside. The sunset walk / hike up to see Bancroft Castle will continue as before. \nDate: Saturday September 13 2025\nTime: Marshal 2:45 P.M. for 3:00 P.M. departure \nStart: Lowes\, Hudson MA\nDestination: Gibbet Hill Grill \nDinner: 5:00 P.M.\nCost: $40.00-80.00 per person without drinks \nItinerary: Google / TomTom / GPX (48 miles / 108 minutes) \nOptional hike:\nHike start: ~6:30 P.M.\nSunset: 6:56 P.M.\nItinerary: GPX (0.6 miles / 15 minutes each way)\nFinish Time: ~7:00 P.M. \n8 car limit. \nTo sign up\, please fill out this brief form.
