Sunrise. Coombe Hill Monument Autumn.
Set in the Chilterns, the monument has great views of surrounding areas.
Beacon Hill. The main point of interest in this square is Beacon Hill and beyond it, Cymbeline's Mount. A small B road passes along beneath the hill through the small settlement of Ellesborough. This picture was taken from Coombe Hill Monument in the adjacent map square.

Cymbeline's Castle from Ellesborough Church Tower. On a beautiful Bank Holiday Monday (for a change !), we climbed to the top of the fine tower of 282314 which affords excellent views in all directions.To the southwest the scene is dominated by this notable tump. It is an ancient Motte & Bailey system known as Cymbeline's Castle (or Mount). Any connection with the ancient British king - whom Shakespeare wrote a play about - is I think speculative at best. However it has been suggested that the nearby Kimbles (Little & Great) are named after him, so it does at least have some plausible link back to pre-Roman times. Although Shakespeare used the name Cymbeline (for his entirely fictional tale), this 1st Century king who ruled a large area of Southern England before the Roman invasion, is more generally known historically as Cunobelinus, though he is known also by various other names such as Cynfelyn and Kymbelinus. This little mount on which his putative castle stood sits below the higher eminence of Beacon Hill, but manages not to be overshadowed by it, retaining a certain quality - perhaps due to its ancient history.

It's a good hotel, rooms after average but very affordable which is great!

A very well kept, lovely property. Easy to locate. A very scenic, relaxing break. I would advise booking taxis in advance as it is remote, but can’t fault anything otherwise. Thank you! We will be back.
