This 16th-century tower is a prominent landmark in the Kirkhead area, featuring a unique blend of medieval and Tudor architectural styles. The tower's rugged stone exterior is punctuated by narrow windows and a prominent clock face, while its interior boasts a grand staircase and ornate plasterwork. Surrounded by lush greenery, the tower offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from its upper floors.
Not sure if it's public land or private. But no signs up saying you can't access. Go through a metal gate from the road side walk straight up to it. Nice little ruin. Worth a visit with great views.
Normally closed to the public, the Tower opened for one Heritage day only. Sitting on the edge of the last ice age, with caves of archaeological significance including "the oldest northerner". Recently repaired by Morecambe Bay Partnership. On private land of Holker Estate since 19th century. Impressive views of morecambe Bay. Worthwhile visit as long as you can wait the year.
Short walk from the road offering good views. Dog can mostly be off lead if no sheep around
