Vandring

The monument at Athelney commemorates King Alfred the Greats occupation of the monastery and fort here in the late 800's. He is said to have hidden here when the rest of England was occupied by the Danes, Athelney at that time was a low-lying island within the Somerset levels. Alfred later raised an army and defeated the occupying forces at the battle of Edington in May 878.

Landevejscykling

For a year around 879, Athelney was the only part of England not under Danish control. It was where Alfred hid out and prepared his fightback. Had the Danes been able to snuff out Saxon rule at this point, British history would probably have been very different.
