Drakes Lodge, Drakes Place , Wellington , Somerset

Wellington Monument, built in honour of the Duke of Wellington, is a major landmark in the area and visible from many parts of the town. Although Arthur Wellesley took his title of "Viscount Wellington of Wellington and Talavera" from Wellington in Somerset in 1809, and later became Duke of Wellington, he is reputed to have visited the town only once (in 1819), even though he had an estate in the area. The monument, which is 175 ft. high, is on the highest point of the Blackdown Hills in what was the Duke's own land. The first stone was laid in 1817 and it was finally completed in 1892. The views from the Monument across the Vale of Taunton to the Bristol Channel and Exmoor are well worth seeing. Sadly, there are concerns about the safety of the monument and it is advisable not to get too close.
