Long Hill, at 206 metres, is a UK-designated P100 or Hump. It has a trig pointed top, but this is not the true summit, which is a little bit further on a higher part of the track, and it is unmarked. It can be walked from the outskirts of Monmouth. There is no great view from the top, which is in the middle of Kings Wood, but the walk to it is a very pleasant affair on good, decent trails.

Buck Stone at 280 metres is a UK P100, or 'hump,' with 100 metres of prominence. The top is marked by a trig point, and the Buck Stone itself, which is a bit of a monster. It is a wedge-shaped lump that looks like it weighs at least several tons. There is also an odd-looking man-made dragon's tooth of a stone, which has an indent in the top. I am curious to know what this is? The location makes for fine views out over the countryside, and makes for a great picnic spot.

A temple that was inspired by Britain’s naval supremacy at the height of the British Empire and built in 1800. This was inspired by Nelson's victory in the Battle of the Nile in 1798. Nelson came to see it in 1802 with Lady Hamilton and her husband Sir William. That must have been an interesting weekend!
