King Alfred’s Tower, also known as Stourton Tower, is a 3-sided folly that’s perched on a hillside near Bruton, Wiltshire on the wider Stourhead estate.
A folly in Britain is a sham castle that was built by gentility as a sign of their wealth and for entertaining guests on their grounds.
This folly stands alone on Kingsettle Hill which is owned and protected by the National Trust and is now a Grade I listed building.
