The Kymin, Hill summit in Monmouth, Great Britain
The Kymin rises 256 meters above sea level, featuring a classical round house and naval temple surrounded by woodland paths and viewpoints.
The Monmouth Picnic Club constructed the Round House in 1794, creating a two-story banqueting space for prominent local gentlemen to gather and dine.
The Naval Temple, built in 1800, commemorates sixteen British admirals and stands as the first monument dedicated exclusively to the Royal Navy.
The National Trust maintains a car park at the summit with three accessible spaces, while the Round House opens from 11 AM to 4 PM.
Admiral Nelson visited in 1802 with Lady Hamilton, enjoying breakfast at the Round House and praising the Naval Temple's dedication to maritime achievements.
