At long last we've seen the Gothic folly in the Park which we can spot above the trees a long way off from the B3078 Cranborne - Wimborne road. From there it looks quite plain - it's not! Built 1790, struck by lightning, rebuilt to 100 feet in 1835. Said to be the basis for Thomas Hardy's "Two on a Tower". Click on photo for the animal heads!
And this is the lovely view from the Folly - it's said to be of 4 counties from the top of the tower.

That looks lovely! Will try to go there next time we're in Dorset.
