Harriet and I are in Wales, Powys to e exact and we are climbing to welcome known landmark in these parts. • Admiral Rodney's Pillar is a pillar built on Breidden Hill in Powys, Wales. It was built in 1781–82 to commemorate the naval victories of Sir George Brydges Rodney, Admiral of the White. The pillar is of local stone, 54 feet (16 m) high, and topped with a drum and finial, which replaced the original gilded ball after a lightning strike in 1847. A granite panel states that it was erected by the Gentlemen of Montgomeryshire to commemorate the naval successes of Admiral Rodney including the Battle of the Saints. The pillar is a conspicuous landmark around the Upper Severn Valley and is a Grade II* listed building. • Support the Bald Explorer here: http://baldexplorer.com/support/ • I am Richard Vobes, the Bald Explorer, exploring Britain.
