We have chosen The Gribbin Tower for our virtual for a few reasons. When sailing up from Falmouth and we see it we know its nearly beer o'clock, it can be seen from so many places, it's a fabulous walk up to it and of course it looks great.
The 84 feet (26 m) high square beacon tower was erected by Trinity House in 1832 to distinguish the Gribbin from Dodman Point and St Anthony’s Head, and thus make navigation into Fowey and the harbours of St Austell Bay safer. It was never lighted, but is painted in broad red and white bands as a daymark. It has been a Grade II Listed Building since 1974.
