Bridgewater Monument

Highlight • Monument

This Tower was built in memory of Francis Egerton, who was the Third Duke of Bridgewater. Egerton was an expert in inland navigation. He was involved in the construction of the Bridgewater Canal (joining Worsley and Manchester), which is the first modern British canal. He also built the canal joining Liverpool and Manchester. Not only that, but he made 2 million pounds out of these adventures and ventures.

Be sure to walk up to the top of the Tower. The views from up there are tremendous.

Berkhamsted Castle Ruins

Highlight • Castle

The ruins here are all that remains of what was once an important motte-and-bailey castle, built in the 11th century. It has seen its fair share of conflict, including a siege in 1216, when it was captured by Prince Louis, who would later become Louise VIII. As well as the crumbling remains, many of the earthworks and ditches can still be seen today.
