TOM (USA)
THE LAST THREE PHOTOS, OF THIS OFFERING, ARE MY FAVOURITES.
I THINK THE ‘LINE’ … ‘SOME THINGS’ ARE WORTH SAVING! –
… IS A ’10 ON 10′ – TO THIS ‘CHARMER’.

In reply to Catherine Parker. Thank you Catherine. Yes, the owners have ensured it will be enjoyed by future generations of their family, by visitors to their estate, and by the many walkers who admire it from the public footpath. The view as you approach with the folly, house and backdrop of woods is extremely handsome.

Great article – interesting and reassuring that historical so-called ‘oddities’ are carefully maintained for the public.

In reply to Ivan. Good afternoon Ivan. As you can see from the photographs, it was not the weather for lingering to enjoy the view from this tranquil spot, but it must be absolutely wonderful on a sunny evening and the owners are to be congratulated for investing time and money in the folly.

Great to see the folly rebuilt, rather than the other option of consolidation… The renovations will have added many more years of service, with the added advantage of not needing a hard hat to safely sit inside
