King Alfred's Tower
King Alfred’s Tower is a 160ft (49m) high folly, designed by Henry Flitcroft for Henry Hoare II in 1772. It is believed to mark the site where King Alfred the Great rallied his troops in 878. The tower commemorates the accession of George III to the throne in 1760 and the end of the Seven Years War. Inside there is an incredible spiral staircase leading to a viewing platform with amazing views over the surrounding valley. (Kingsettle Hill, South Brewham, England)
