Highlight • Monument

Follow the path for Virginia Water from the Savill Garden car park, and you will soon encounter Obelisk Lawn - where you will often be greeted by the scene of children playing in the play area, and groups of family and friends enjoying picnics around the majestic cedar trees. Here you can enjoy a drink and a snack from Obelisk Lawn’s resident mobile café, as you admire the sensational views offered across Obelisk Pond.
