Pitshill Tower.

    This Folly is difficult to find so take an ordinance survey map. Even the locals don't know where it is. From the Upperton Monument go back up the hill and take the first right to Tillington. At the first big bend go down the unmarked gravel drive. Continue on past the small stone house with the 3 moles crest down the tarmac drive until you see Pitshill House, a huge square, unoccupied Georgian mansion nestling in a vale. The Folly is up behind the mansion and can be accessed to the left by circuiting up through the sheep fields or to the right besides the house through a gap in the laurel hedges and up a track through the woods.

    The Folly itself is some 4 metres square and 10 metres high. The first 2 metres  or so being of cut stone the rest is of brick. The ground floor is a summer house with a nice wooden seat overlooking the fields. An arched doorway leads to a further 2 delapidated floors. A true Folly in the finest tradition it must have been built by a member of the Mitford family who owned the big house from 1760.
