The Admiral Hood Monument is a memorial column to Vice Admiral Sir Samuel Hood on a hill in the parish of Compton Dundon, Somerset, England. It was completed in 1831.
He entered the Royal Navy in 1776 and rose through a very distinguished career to become the Vice Admiral at the Battle of the Nile.
The monument is a 110 feet (33.5 m) Tuscan column on a cuboid base set on two tall steps, the lower supporting a wrought iron railing enclosure. There was originally a doorway in the base, but this was sealed in 1990.

The monument culminates in a band of laurel wreaths beneath a naval crown, composed of the sculpted sterns of four galleons interspersed with four mainsails.

The monument was paid for by public subscription and was originally linked to the Hood family home at Butleigh by a mile long avenue of cedar trees.

From the monument is a lovely view of the valley below. Parking is in a small layby 5 minutes walk from the monument

The 140 feet (43 m) Burton Pynsent Monument was built in 1767 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It is known by a number of other names, including the Curry Rivel Column, the Pynsent Steeple, and the Cider Monument.
The monument, which is clad in Portland stone, was designed by Capability Brown as a monument to Sir William Pynsent, of the Pynsent Baronets.
It is composed of a rectangular plinth upon which is a round column topped by a viewing platform, itself surmounted by an urn. The viewing platform is no longer accessible due to an unfortunate incident with a cow(!)

In 1948, a cow managed to climb the 172 stairs to the top, but being unable to back down the stairs, the poor creature fell to its death from the pinnacle. To prevent further accidents, the stairs were closed.
Even though you can't climb the column, the hill offers lovely views out over West Sedge Moor towards Taunton.

It was very muddy and damp when I went but worth a look. A lot of trees with quite a few ponds hidden amongst them. Lots of paths and spring / summer would be a better time to visit.

Opened in 1675. Stainforth Bridge, is a 17th century, arched packhorse bridge over the River Ribble in Stainforth, North Yorkshire, England. The bridge was formerly on the main packhorse road between York and Lancaster. 100 yds away is a very nice little water fall and plunge pool suitable for swimming. Best avoiding summer as can get very busy. Autumn you may be lucky enough to see salmon leaping the falls. The bridge itself is owned by NT however I flew adjacent to waterfall.

A small parking spot next to a natre reserve, just outside the runway extension FRZ for Barton, affording a view over the industrial landscape - in its fading glory - and with pre-dawn colours in the sky...

Watch out for the power lines, and trees, and stay this side of the Paper Mill to avoid the FRZ.

Just south of Tan Hill in the Vale of Pewsey is a place known as Rybury Camp. It is an ancient earthwork surrounding a flattened plateau on Clifford's Hill.

It can easily be spotted from many directions. It has a distinctive hillfort shape, with a ditch around the perimeter. It was once bustling with activity as the top of the hill as it started off as a causewayed enclosure in the Neolithic period some 5,000 years ago.

Causewayed enclosures are quite rare in Britain, with around 70 recorded nationally. Built during the middle part of the Neolithic, they could have been used for a number of different functions including settlement, defence and ceremonial purposes.

Fantastic Gothic style Building. The Cathedral security, based at the gate house, don’t allow pilots to take off and land on church grounds, however they advised that I could use the embankment that overlooks the gardens to the rear.
