In the south of the Isle of Man, in the centre of the Langness Peninsula, lies the Herring Tower, built in 1823. You can enter the tower and find a narrow stone spiral staircase that snakes its way up the inside three quarters of the way up its height. The tower makes the peninsula easily visible for miles around.

A fab tower and trig point on a wild part of the island. Amazing views of the lighthouse and was great to look back along the coast where we walked.
