Selattyn Tower
Selattyn Tower was built by in 1847, but nobody is quite sure why. There were no trees on the hill then, and it was probably just a decorative ‘folly’, a place to sit and enjoy the view – and maybe it also provided cover for those who wanted to shoot the grouse. In the Second World War it was used as a lookout post by the Home Guard, who installed a large gun here. The tower actually stands on the site of a Bronze Age cairn and you can still see the ring of stones surrounding it. Copied from
