Captain Cook's Monument

Monument

👍 Lovely little walk, quite a short/low incline path. Many walks from the top where you can walk for miles and not see anyone! Views are stunning even in rain! You can see roseberry topping from the top too. Picnic tables at the bottom but no toilets! Parking can be difficult when sunny (as it gets bu...

Stoodley Pike

Monument

👍👍 Amazing views if you visit on a clear day. There’s a bit of a climb up here so make sure you’re fit. It’s an imposing monument right on the top of the hill and you can go inside it where there’s a spiral staircase to the viewing level. There’s no lighting inside on the staircase so bring a torch or...

William Tyndale Monument

Monument

👍👍 Great place with amazing views. Quite a steep 15-20 mins approach. No dedicated parking available but plenty of spaces in the area. The tower is open 24/7 and there are around 120 very narrow steps up. Staircase may get sleepery when wet or muddy but the tower seems safe at the top for kids any age.

Waterloo Monument

Monument

👍👍 A lovely place to visit. You can do this as part of a short or long walk. Beautiful scenery and the view from the top of the tower is fab. It is dark so worth taking a torch. Be careful when wet. There is no hand rail up the tower or from the top.

👍👍 Bridgewater Monument offers breathtaking views and is of historic significance. The National Trust staff was lovely and friendly. Stairs are tight and not easy for kids to reach to the top.

Welcombe Hills Obelisk

Monument

👍👍 Perfect place for a walk or dog walk, beautiful views and the obelisk is huge, I will be walking the hills more often, car park at both sides which are free but one has a certain amount of time to stay but keep in mind it is a good walk ranging from 20-30 minutes to the obelisk.

Albert Memorial

😐 Been here a few times for the Xmas market. Crowded as always but this is expected. Prices seem to have gone up a lot and happiness and politeness of people serving has gone down a lot.folks. We are paying for a festive experience and if you can't deliver that people won't spend money at your stalls.
