    Hiking

    Built around 1750, the Cats Monument is thought to commemorate a Persian cat kept by Thomas Anson called Kouli-Khun. Thomas Anson also kept a herd of Corsican goats on the estate which can also be seen on the monument.

    The monument has been surrounded by tall trees and shrubs and as a result has become covered in moss and algae. The growth of organic matter and the changes in the seasons have also led to water ingress and the opening of joints within the monument.
