Browns Folly Tower

Highlight • Monument

Built on the site of the old stone mine by the same name, the tower offers great views of the surrounding countryside. It has a precarious staircase up the inside which allows access to the top of the tower. The stair ascent is dangerous and I wouldn't allow children to climb it without some sort of safety system.

Browns Folly Mine Squeeze Entrance

Highlight • Cave

This is one of the Squeeze entrances into the old mine. It is a place of environmental interest as it is home to some endangered species of bats. Entrance into the mine is not advised unless as part of a supervised excursion.

Prospect Place Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Max gradient around 30%, do not attempt when wet or with fallen leaves if you dont want to find yourself sitting sideways on the ground. Pretty busy with traffic unexpectedly... good luck! :)
