This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures.

Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

This resplendent granite monument is found in the beautiful Ashridge Estate. Standing at 33m (108ft) tall, from April to October you can actually climb it's 172 steps.

It's dedicated rather grandly to the "the father of navigation" as it was built in 1832 in memory of Francis Edgerton, the third Duke of Bridgewater, famous for commissioning canals during the Industrial Revolution.

On a clear day, you can over 30 miles across the surrounding countryside with views as far as Canary Wharf in central London.

Spectacular views in good weather, as far as Canary Wharf in London!

You can climb to a viewing platform at the top of the column at weekends, between April and October.

There are numerous bridleways and footpaths in Ashridge Estate, which is managed by the National Trust.

There's parking near the Monument (free to National Trust members), with an information centre and cafe nearby.
