About
Sir Bevil Grenville's Monument stands on Lansdown Hill near Bath, commemorating a Royalist commander and his Cornish pikemen at the Battle of Lansdown in 1643. The monument itself was erected in the following century, giving the battlefield a later focus for remembrance rather than marking it with a contemporary structure. Its inscription and the nearby interpretation help put the surrounding countryside into the context of the Civil War fighting. Reviewers appreciate the information boards and views, and several note muddy conditions after rain. The monument lies beside the Cotswold Way, making it an easy historical stop on a longer walk. An adjacent roadside layby offers limited space for arrivals, while shops and other facilities are in Bath. Dogs are welcome on leads at the monument.
