20의 호싱턴가지 명소 & 주요 장소

원래 색슨 대성당이었던 셔본 수도원은 수직 고딕 건축의 황금빛 석조 걸작입니다. 이곳의 명성은 부채꼴 아치형 천장으로, 아마도 영국에서 가장 오래되고 장관을 이루는 것으로, 섬세한 돌 레이스처럼 천장에 펼쳐져 있습니다. 이 수도원은 화재(1437년 다투는 수도원장과 주민들에 의해 발생), 수도원 해산, 그리고 시간의 시험을 견뎌냈습니다. 내부에는 서색슨 왕들의 무덤과 멋진 대서쪽 창문을 볼 수 있습니다. 이 수도원은 여전히 도싯의 살아있는 "등대"로, 꿀색의 햄스톤과 도시를 정의하는 고요하고 고풍스러운 위엄으로 빛나고 있습니다.

I always make time to pop in on my walks in this area as it is wonderfully calming and peaceful. I like to just sit and marvel at the talent of the architecture.

Alfred's Tower is a folly in Somerset,England, on the edge of the border with Wiltshire, on the Stourhead estate. The tower stands on Kingsettle Hill and belongs to the National Trust. It is designated as a Grade I listed building. Henry Hoare II planned the tower in the 1760s to commemorate the end of the Seven Years' War against France and the accession of King George III, and it was erected near the site of Egbert's Stone, where it is believed that Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, rallied the Anglo-Saxons in 878 before the Battle of Edington. The tower was damaged by an aeroplane in 1944 and restored in the 1980s.

For many, known as the ‘Cathedral of Dorset’ Founded by St. Aldhelm in AD 705, Sherborne Abbey has developed from a Saxon cathedral to one of England’s most beautiful parish churches. The abbey is a Grade I listed building. It has several distinct architectural styles throughout and well worth a visit.

Moderate trail going through some amazing places, worth a visit 😀

Bristol High Cross is a market cross which was first erected in 1373 in the centre of Bristol on the site of an earlier cross which commemorated the granting of a charter by Edward III to make Bristol a county, separate from Somerset and Gloucestershire. In 1764 it was moved to Stourhead. Often mistaken as part of the nearby church.

Just over half way up the gradient eases for a short distance. In the days of old, horses pulling a cart would be sent into a gallop to gain momentum for the steep section ahead. You are unlikely to see that nowadays but it is still known as "galloping plain" locally.
