Ivory Towers and Dressed Stones - Yorkshire
When travelling around the countryside have you ever wondered about that strange looking tower on the hill, or that romantically picturesque temple hiding in the trees? Who built it? Whe and why? Can it be visited? and if so, how can I get to it?
This two volume series is a walkers guide to the follies, prospect towers and architectural curiosities of Yorksire and
Lancashire, each folly being the centrepiece of a pleasant ramble from your car.
Detailed maps and directions are provided, together with an informative and sometimes amusing narrative, which discusses not only the follies
but local history and topography and places of interest encountered en route. The book is written with families in mind and many of the walks will delight youngsters.
Apart from the follies accessible to the public, a gazetteer lists additional follies. The book is both a practical guide and a useful reference book for anyone with an interest in 'rogue architecture'.
