Hiking

This monument is dedicated to Sir Bevil Grenville, a Royalist commander in the Civil War, who was killed in the Battle of Lansdowne on July 5, 1963. Henry Grenville, Lord Lansdown, erected the monument where his grandfather, Sir Bevil, died. Standing 25 feet (7.6 m) high, it carries an inscription on the south side describing the battle and two poems on the north side. The monument is topped by a griffin bearing the Grenville coat of arms.
