Pynsent Column

The 143 ft (43m) high column on Troy Hill near the village of Curry Rivel in Somerset. It was designed for William Pitt the Elder in the 18th century by Capability Brown. Despite being featured in the Guardian's supplement "Hidden Britain - Hundreds of Hidden Things to See and Do" it was impossible to get any closer to it than this viewpoint on the main road (pic taken with telephoto lens)
