The Obelisk

A and I went to Holkham today to recce our intended bike ride. We were looking for a circular solid road on the estate to cycle on with little traffic. We found a circular route of 4.5 miles, but about a third of it is a dirt track. We think that'll be ok in the Summer and are happy to stick to the hard surface parts at other times which is up and down hill and should be good exercise for us. The full circular route is really nice as a walk though. This obelisk, designed by William Kent, is at the highest point on the estate and was completed in 1732 before the work on the house even started.
