From W as per CP. Easy in springtime. Tower in pretty good order, spiral stairs intact | RHW | 15/04/2022 |
Departure morning walk from Chagford cottage. From row to west along field edge then track into wood, to pick a way up through trees before inevitable head high bracken then brambles next to the grade II listed tower which was well hidden. This small observation tower (Victorian Gothic style) is in woodland owned by the Hayter-Hames family of Chagford House who used the woods for shooting parties and the tower was used by the women and children to watch the sport. 
When was anyone last here I wonder? One of the joys of climbing anything on the list as now an ex tump. | Chris Pearson | 16/08/2016 |
