A short climb rewards with fantastic views over Aberystwyth Harbour and along the coastline to the north and south. The Wellington Monument, commissioned to commemorate the English victory over France at Waterloo which ended the Napoleonic wars, takes the form of an eighteen metre high upended cannon. It is built of stone rubble and rises from a square podium, the shaft tapers before arriving at a swept out funnel. It is thought that the column was intended to carry a statue at the top, which was never installed. The monument was fully restored in 1999, following a lightning strike in 1997, with a replacement rounded slate surround at its top specially made at Blaenau Ffestiniog.
