Description

Conygar Tower is a folly built in 1775. It features an embattled circular shell made of random rubble red sandstone and stands three storeys high. Each floor has four pointed-arched openings, with two-stage buttresses positioned between them. The tower is prominently located at the top of a wooded hill and serves as an important landscape feature that overlooks the village.
