Wish Tower Open to Visit

The Wish Tower Friends have been looking after the Wish Tower (Tower 73) for over 10 years, but are still only able to open from time to time. We usually open at very short notice but this year we'll be opening the Tower in the afternoons for all four weekend days of Heritage Open Days.
The view from the top, alone, is worth the visit but if it's raining, it's a good idea to dress accordingly.
