Wellington Monument
Highlight • Climb
Tours are available from April to October 10:00 - 16:00, booking essential. You can view the monument from outside and walk around the area which has great views without booking.
The Wellington Monument is the tallest three sided obelisk in the world at 175ft. It was commissioned in 1817 to commemorate the Duke of Wellingtons victory at the battle of Waterloo. Originally designed to be a plinth with a stature of the duke on top but the money ran out and it was eventually finished in 1820.
It's been damaged by lightning and needed major restoration several times since it's completion.
The National Trust took over the management in 1934 and undertook many cycles of repair over the years. The most recent 3.1million pound project has been recently completed with the aim of not needing more repair work in the near future.

Prayer Book Rebellion Memorial at Fenny Bridges
Highlight • Monument
In 1549, The Act of Uniformity banned Catholic Liturgy replacing it legally with the Book of Common Prayer.
Other events occurring at the same time which significantly impacted the people of Devon and Cornwall, such as a poll tax on sheep, combined with the imposition of the Book of Common Prayer and with it the use of the English language, resulted in a rebellion of several thousand. The rebellion was crushed and thousands massacred. The Battle of Fenny Bridges was fought just behind this memorial.
