Mount Snever Observatory, otherwise known as Oldstead Tower, was erected in 1838 to celebrate the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne. It is said to have housed a telescope, through which John Wormald (for whom the Observatory was built) might have done some stargazing. Don't miss the inscribed words on the side of the Tower; Wormald's adaptation of Alexander Pope's poem 'Windsor Forest'.

No access to the building but a nice surprise in the woods

Vandring

The permissive path from Oldstead towards the southwest is well signposted, but is very steep at 22%. Might be OK if you are fresh, but have to admit it is a real struggle after 15 miles hard hiking in 21 degree sunshine! Alternative is to use trekking poles, or approach from the woods to the east and then descend the woodland track to Oldstead, which would have been easier.
