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.

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.

King Alfred's Tower is a folly in Somerset, located on the Stourhead estate. The triangular shape is hollow in the centre with a winding staircase along the walls. You can climb the tower from April until October on every weekend. More info: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/wiltshire/king-alfreds-tower

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.
