There are only three Greyfriars Towers left in Britain and this is the best preserved, probably because it served as a landmark for traders and sailors after the dissolution of the monastery.

Greyfriars Tower is a Grade I-listed, Scheduled Ancient Monument situated in the beautifully-kept Tower Gardens. It was the central crossing tower of the Church of St Francis Priory, which was founded in 1230. The tower itself is late 14th century. There is also a war memorial in the park. Overall, it is a good place to visit or stop for a picnic.
