This unique 100ft tower is the last major folly to be built in England and offers fantastic views over five different counties. It is situated on Folly Hill, within an ancient four acre circular woodland of Scots Pine and broadleaf trees. A variety of unusual sculptures have been created in this woodland which make it a pleasure to explore, including: a wooden cannon, several different animals, a ‘do not feed the giraffes’ sign, a giant willow pie, a 'fairly useless bridge' and a wooden model of Lord Berners (creator of the folly) sitting in a tree. The Folly Tower is open on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month from April to October, but the woodland is always open.
