Came across this striking obelisk at dusk while bikepacking the Ridgeway. The monument stands on an ancient barrow, just off a well-trodden section of the trail. Its silhouette caught in the fading light made for a quietly memorable moment. There’s a small nearby car park and good access, but in the evening it felt remote and peaceful. I found a discreet wild camping spot within 2 km of here — the surrounding downs offer open views.

Grass track is right of way and not the road.

Lovely views, and good spot for a breather, but you have to wonder if he is compensating for something?

Nice spot to take a stop and take in the views along the ridgeway.

A memorial obelisk to Robert Loyd-Lindsay, Lord Wantage. Robert Lloyd-Lindsay, 1st Baron Wantage, was a soldier, politician and philanthropist. He co-founded the British National Society for Aid to the Sick and Wounded in War, which later became the British Red Cross. He died in 1901. Lady Wantage erected a monument to Lord Wantage in 1903. The monument stands on a Bronze Age round barrow adjacent to the Ridgeway at Betterton Down near Lockinge, Oxfordshire. https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/photos/item/BAR03/01/428

If you get the choice of Ridgeway or Bridleway to get to Wantage, stay on the Ridgeway
