Smooth surface climb at a steady gradient, very nice.

The cross crowning this small sacred monument is comparatively small and modest in relation to the entire monument. However, the cross's base, rising in Gothic form, deserves special attention. The very delicate structure, stretching skyward, looks to me a bit like someone had removed a small church steeple from the church and transplanted it onto the lawn here.

This picturesque moated medieval castle was built in the 1370s by Sir John de la Mare. It's heavily influenced by French design and features a compact layout with four round corner towers and thick defensice walls.

C.250 steps to climb, but quite low. Views are stunning from the top on a clear day. Costs £6 for non members.

King Alfred's Tower is a triangular tower raised in memory of King Alfred, who is said to have raised his standard here in 870 AD. It also commemorates George III in 1760 and the end of the seven years war. It was built by the owner of the Stourhead estate. Now owned and managed by the National Trust.

Alfred's Tower is a folly in Somerset,[1][2] 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.
