How Hill Nature Reserve in Norfolk England
How Hill Nature Reserve is a great place to explore the Norfolk Broads. We took the Electric Eel boat tour on the Broads and then did the How Hill Nature Walk stopping at the How Hill Secret Gardens along the way. I enjoyed seeing the wildlife, especially some of the rare Norfolk Broads birds. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon on the Broads.

Admiral Hood Monument, Compton Dundon, Somerset.
The Hood monument is a memorial column to Sir Samuel Hood on a hill near Butleigh in the parish of Compton Dundon, Somerset, England.
The monument is a 110 feet (33.5 m) Tuscan column on a cuboid ashlar base set on two tall steps, the lower supporting a wrought iron railing enclosure. There was a doorway at the base but this was sealed in 1990.[2] The crown is a sculpture on a nautical theme with the sterns of four galleons interspersed with four mainsails above laurel wreaths and surmounted by a naval crown.[3]
It was paid for by public subscription and designed by Henry Goodridge.[1]
It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[4]
There is an inscription written by Robert Southey.
It was originally linked to the Hood family home at Butleigh by a mile long avenue of cedar trees
