About This AttractionSuggest an Edit

This monument was built in memory of Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson and affords great views over the surrounding landscape. Outside there is a time ball that is dropped at 13:00 daily, the sailors used this to know the exact time when working out longitude. Inside the monument you can read a copy of his last letter to the great love of his life, Emma, Lady Hamilton and lots more.
