The Folly Tower
|
The Tower is 104 feet high with over 150 stairs from the bottom to the top - but you can sit for a while in the Belvedere room if you wish.
The woodland is circular and covers about 4 acres. The outer ring are Scots Pine, with broadleaf trees around the Tower. You can see five counties - Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Buckinghamshire. There are vista panels on the roof to help you identify the surrounding countryside. On a clear day you can see for about 25miles, but cannot see the Bristol Channel ( this was one of the Folly myths). |
