Birchen Edge & Nelson's Monument
Nelson's Monument itself , was erected in 1810 by John Brightman from Baslow.
Three natural boulders nearby have been carved with the names of Nelsons ships, Victory, Defiant and Royal Soverin
In the distance the A627 Sheffield Road passes over Ramsley Moor
Wellington's Monument is dedicated to the Duke of Wellington and a celebration of his victory
at the battle of Waterloo in 1815. It was erected by a local. called Dr Wrench, who as an army man,
felt the need to counterbalance the memorial dedicated to Admiral Nelson visited earlier.
