This historical building has numerous uses and quirky things to do. As you enter there are whispering dishes so that people can hear you 20 yards away doing the smallest noise. We once tried farting as kids very comical!
Inside it is full of treats with the main attraction being the lens that looks out over the countryside over a vast distance and can magnitise so you can see a person clear as day miles away.
I haven’t been here for ages so I am sure they have added other bits and bobs that I haven’t seen. Get chatting to them and they might give you an individual tour on a quiet day.

Foredown Tower is an old water tower which has been transformed into a local ‘Camera Obscura’. For a small fee visitors are allowed to enter the camera and watch a demonstration by the local guides who demonstrate the camera which operates by projecting an image from a lens in the top of the tower onto a concave screen in the centre of the darkened room. It allows full 360 degree viewing of the local landscapes and also views of the sun (on a black card) which allow you to experience solar eclipses. I can recommend a visit, especially with children. Try and find a nice sunny day!
