Final approach is via a footpath. Standing over 100 feet high, Wolfe's Obelisk is difficult to miss. It was moved in 1754 from the centre of the Octagon Lake where it was used as a fountain to its current position in the parkland, the layers of bricks were taken down and moved by hand as part of this. The obelisk serves as another eye catcher and can be seen from various locations within the gardens. It's dedicated to General Wolfe who was the victor of Quebec in 1759 and a friend of Earl Temple. The location in the parkland means the monument is regularly subjected to winds of up to 100 miles per hour, three coats of lime wash help to protect against this.
