    For cyclists, it's not worthwhile to continue. There's a double lock here, keeping cyclists out. And beyond that, you're in a swampy marsh, which somewhat discourages you from continuing on foot. But here you can also admire the large monument.

    The King Edward I Monument in Burgh by Sands is an impressive and historic memorial marking the spot where King Edward I died in 1307 during his campaign against Scotland. The king died here on 7 July 1307, while preparing to attack Robert the Bruce, his Scottish adversary.
    Originally built in 1685, it is made of red sandstone and is now a Grade II listed monument* in England.
    The monument stands alone in the landscape, surrounded by a metal fence, and bears an inscription describing Edward I as the "Hammer of the Scots."
