The Hadlow Tower

After reading nice reviews about this tower we have decided to see it with our own eyes and didn't regret our decision.

The building is absolutely spectacular!

It can be seen even from the distance because it is very high above the trees.

Hadlow octagonal tower locally known as May's folly, is a Victorian tower, and apparently, one of the largest in Britain!
It was built in 1838 by architect George Ledwell Taylor.

We have parked our car just outside of the barber shop, which located on the left handside not far away from main entrance gates, and walked to the direction of the St Mary's Church.

Just before entrance to the church yard, there is the path you can take on the left hand side, which if you follow around and through building up area you will come to the dead end, where you have to turn right and continue the alley way until you will see the gates on the right handside.
If you go through the gates and follow the overgrown path, you can come closer to the tower and take nice shots.
The best shots, in my opinion would be from the field or across the litter lake, which is not far from the tower.

Definitely unforgettable experience and we are recommending it!

Beautiful place but you need to book a time to visit.

The most Unique and beautiful building I have ever seen

Beautiful tower. Go here regularly on my dog walks through the village. Shame it's only a holiday home now and not open to other visitors.

Fascinating place, fabulous views.

Go and see this unusual tower and learn the history of how the luftwaffe used this aerial landmark to start droping their bombs in the war.

Something unusual near Tonbridge. Pop in for 30 min when on your way. Visible landmark from a distance.

Stayed in the Tower for a night after winning a competition for the stay. Rooms were amazing and services such as TV and WiFi were provided. Views were stunning from the top and the gardens surrounding the tower were peaceful including a pond which was perfect in the sun.

Sleepover was great! Friend's parents owns the tower so we got the best rooms. Maybe slightly biased but I mean, I would come again.

We stayed at this place last weekend for my 40th birthday, really fantastic. A unique and very special place to stay, stunning views. Thoroughly recommended
