The monument is a 25-foot-high (7.6 m) stone obelisk erected in 1846 to commemorate the life and legacy of William Skinner, a local landowner and philanthropist. The monument stands on a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside and is surrounded by a small woodland area.
Extremely difficult to get to with directions online taking you the wrong way. Signage on street was very limited. Nice to see from afar and once you're up close.
Offers great views of the port and Holyhead. The pathway up to it is severely overgrown and is in a very poor state. The memorial itself looks to be abandoned.
We wanted to visit this monument 3 weeks ago. Access completely neglected and overgrown. I had to turn back. I wrote to department concerned, but haven't received a reply. It's a disgrace!
Beautiful place and the view is breathtaking
Hard to reach. Good view of Holyhead.
Great views from up here seeing most of holyhead... And the port..
