    This beautiful folly perched on top of a rolling hill in Oxfordshire will certainly catch your eye. It was built by landscape artist William Kent for the Dormer family in 1740.

      On the other side of the 'Eye Catcher' field is a bench placed there in memory of 'Bob the Dog' where you are invited to 'sit and paws a while'. An ideal peaceful location to rest and take in the view of the 'Eye Catcher'
