Tyndale monument

If arriving by car, you can park just off the main road which runs through the village outside of the cemetery. A walkway up to the monument is located on the opposite side of the road to the cemetery in between the cemetery itself and the Black Horse Inn pub.

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.
