This impressive obelisk lies just off the London LOOP trail in Enfield's Trent Country Park. It was put here in the 30s, having been moved from Wrest Park by the owner of Trent House. It's Grade II-listed and is well worth making a detour for.

Placed here on the northern boundary in 1934 from Wrest Park by the extravagant bon vivant and owner of Trent House, Sir Phillip Sassoon.
The aesthetics of the vista and perspective approaching uphill through the wood-lined clearing off-set by the hubris and niggling disquiet once arriving at the Grade II Listed obelisk (bearing an incorrect date.)
A line from Shelley’s “Ozymandias” comes to mind;
...” Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair...”

It's slightly off the London Loop but worth the few extra 100m detour for the view over the park.
