Stands on the Cotswold escarpment overlooking North Nibley. This striking 111 foot tower was built in 1866 in memory of the writer, William Tyndale, thought to be born nearby and famous for translating the Bible to English. Although his exact birthplace is not known, he spent his childhood in the Dursley area before going to Oxford to study Greek. He was known to be outspoken stating his view that the Bible should be published in English in order that it could be studied and understood by everyone, even the poorest people in the land. This view prompted much criticism and persecution against him, so he moved to Germany devoting his time to translate and publish the Bible in English. He finished translating the New Testament into English in 1525, with copies circulating in England by 1526. However, by then he was living in Antwerp Belgium and was martyred in 1536 at Vilvorde near Brussels. The Tyndale monument memorial was suggested and built some three centuries later with its inauguration in 1866, three years following the foundation stone being laid. Inside the tower a narrow, dark, winding staircase leads to an enclosed viewing platform. If you have the energy and don't suffer from claustrophobia, the view is well worth the climb.

Tyndale is half a mile away and a pleasant walk to the monument, once you are there and climb to the top the views are spectacular and far reaching.

Park in Wotton or North Nibley and take a walk up to the Tyndale Monument. Climb to the top for exceptional views of the Severn Estuary and beyond.

Climb to the top and take in the view of seven counties on a clear day. Walk along the Cotswold Way, through the woods to Wotton-under-Edge or head back to the village and take the Cotswold Way with its wonderful scenery to Dursley.
