I have visited before, but only today realised that it was possible to climb to the top of the monument/tower. Great views from the top!

An amazing spot and tower. And I was amazed also to find that it was open and you could just wander up to the top - fabulous!

Walked up from Wotton-under-edge then had lunch in North Nibley before walking back. Great weather today and lots of geocaches on the way up. Climbed the 121 steps to the top of the monument for an even better view.

Stopped off on my way down from Coventry to Dorset to grab a geocache and spotted this monument towering over the village.

Completed 1866, erected "in grateful remembrance of William Tyndale translator of the English bible" to quote part of memorial plaque above entrance. Tower is open to public to climb (121 steps) to enclosed room at top, where extensive views over surrounding country can be had making the climb definitely worthwhile. Last restored as a millennium project 2000-4.

We were geocaching up at the monument today. Very misty so the monument was just visible from about 50m.

We know it's there somewhere Very misty up at the monument today.
Very misty The tower was open today even though it was difficult to see your hand in front of your face.

Having done an early shift at work in Bristol I bagged a couple of intersected stations in SE Glos in the afternoon and stopped off for dinner at the Thames Head Inn. On a whim I then decided to visit the Nibley Monument and parked up at the entrance to a bridleway at ST 7404 9569. I followed the bridleway and then the path to the east up through the woods and out to the top. It took me a while of wandering round to realise that the gate and door were open and I could go inside. I climbed spiral staircase in tower without hindrance but a little huffy and puffy! (I'm out of shape!) Spectacular views off the edge of the Cotswolds and the River Severn glinting in the setting sun.
