A VIEWING platform will be opened at the level of the Wellington Monument plinth next spring to give visitors a rare opportunity to take in the view.

Visitors will also have the chance to meet the team from Sally Strachey’s Historic Conservation around this time. They will be able to learn about the specialist work being carried out on the monument and to ask any questions they may have.

Booking will be essential for these events. Details will be made available on the Monument website as soon as they are finalised – visit nationaltrust.org.uk/wellington-monument
