This 18th-century monument commemorates the Lilleshall family and stands 30 feet tall, comprising a square base, ornate column, and urn finial, crafted from local Grinshill stone and situated in a picturesque setting amidst woodland and rolling hills.
Lovely view from the top. I Ride up from trench. Can see for miles. Can get some great photos.
A short quite steep walk to the monument but well worth it for the panoramic views. The Lilleshall (Sutherland) Monument is a 70 foot (21m) high stone obelisk erected in 1833 by grateful tenants to commemorate the 1st Duke of Sutherland (George Granville Leveson-Gower 1758-1833). Stone obelisks were a trend in the 1800's to celebrate "the great and the good". The Duke of Sutherland was a descendant of Richard Leveson (1598-1661), buried in Lilleshall church, who acquired Lilleshall Abbey and its estates.
Beautiful place to go and watch the sunset ..firstntime been will feffo go bck
Nice little walk on sunny day waiting for the lad to finish tennis
Truly one of the most beautiful places I've been. Amazing views, so peaceful up there. I've been up a couple of times & it's always been quiet there
The impressive 70 foot tall monument (also called the Duke of Sutherland Monument) that stands on top of the Lileshall hillside, with it's beautiful views of the surrounding countryside is hard to believe that it's only 443 feet above sea level, because you can see for miles and free to visit, which this day and age is always good. A really pleasant walk to get to the monument, enjoying the fresh air while taking in the views and if you visit on a weekend, you should easily be able to park up by a nearby primary school without any inconvenience to the running of the school and without walking for miles and miles. Well worth a visit, if only for a bit of peace and some lovely scenery.
