THE OCA HILLS
The name Oca or goose relates these hills to a symbol that
is much used by medieval builders - the goose leg – and
also to this
mythical animal itself. Goose symbols are found time and
time again along the Way
in different forms. There are even those who claim that
the popular Goose game with its sequence of geese and
bridges and its labyrinth lay-out is a replica of the Way
of St James and that the stone masons themselves might
even have invented the game and made it popular.
