Geocache Description:

This cache is easier to get to from the field not the track.


The Folly Tower, standing on Folly Hill, is a wonderful viewpoint and a landmark that can be seen for miles around.
The 104ft high tower was built in 1935 by Lord Berners, the then owner of Faringdon House, for his young friend Robert Heber Percy.
The style is unusual in that the stark perpendicular building is topped with gothic flourishes and mock battlements, added at the insistence of Lord Berners. It is the last folly to be built in England.
