The Watch Tower is a 19th-century fortified tower situated on the north coast of Northern Ireland, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. This historic structure stands 33 feet tall and features a striking Gothic Revival style architecture, with a robust stone-built design, narrow windows, and a battlemented parapet. The tower's purpose was to serve as a lookout point for spotting smuggling ships and to provide a secure location for the prevention of smuggling activities. Today, it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline and is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
Lovely little place. You don't need too long if you are just passing, but do stop off. Granddaughter still lives there too
The Watch Tower is a delightful property available for holiday stays and breaks through the National Trust. The cottage is charming, spacious, immaculately clean throughout, full of character and with a lovely garden. The location is amazing within the Compton Castle grounds. Highly recommended!
Nice adjunct to the greater castle. Solid and well preserved.
