Trull waterfall, the man made fall built to feed the village of Trull and its industry and just down the round the impressive Wellington monument, which the design changed so many times over the years and after its recent restoration, stand proud above the town of Wellington and boasts impressive views all the way to the Blackdown Mountains and Exmoor.
Two great ideas for a family or couples day out while visiting the Westcountry or a great stop off for those heading to Devon and Cornwall.
More about The Wellington Monument.
The Wellington Monument is a prominent landmark located near the town of Wellington in Somerset, England. It is a tall tower that stands on the summit of Wellington Hill, which is part of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The monument was erected in 1817 in honor of the Duke of Wellington, who was a British military hero famous for defeating Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. The tower stands 53 meters (175 feet) tall and is made of local red sandstone. It is the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world.
Over the years, the Wellington Monument has undergone several repairs and restorations, including a major restoration project in 2018-2019 that involved cleaning and repairing the stonework and installing a new lighting system.
The monument is a popular destination for hikers and visitors to the area, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower via a spiral staircase to enjoy the views, although access may be restricted at certain times for safety reasons
