Hiking

I wouldn't have visited the tower if it weren't for the remarkable person who built it and his remarkable life story, in which he was fascinated by the theory of evolution and succeeded in finding the missing link between man and ape. A fascinating man, a fascinating place, a truly fascinating structure, and a beautiful woodland setting. For the information board, you might need to crawl under a rhododendron (or at least duck down) because it's becoming increasingly obscured.

Nice to visit with children. If you are lucky you will see bats and owls.
