The 'Column to Liberty' and statue were built in 1759 are a feature in some of Turner's
paintings of the area from the 19th century.
The column is 140 feet high and is topped by a 12 foot
statue of British Liberty, which was originally
covered in 66 blocks of gold leaf - what a sight it must have
been glittering in the sunshine.

Bunkers and trees on right of fairway.
Can you spot the Column to Liberty in the distance? |
Green from the right side - 3 bunkers can be seen.

Golfer's Tip
Another shortish par 4 and this one is a dogleg to the right. The 'direct'
route from the tee is protected by trees and 2 fairway bunkers - the ideal
tee shot is down the middle of the fairway to the left of the bunkers
which should leave a short iron into the green. There is a steep slope
to the left of the green, and 2 sand-traps above the green to the right
and another one at the front left.
