From here, take a leisurely walk upwards, keep in mind that Tyndale monument will be on your right. You will see the peak of the monument as you arrive near the top, the path then leads up on to a large open green area. Head towards the monument itself and take a walk inside up the spiral steps to the top for spectacular views out across the Cotswolds, Severn Esturary, both Severn Bridges, and Wales.
