Sitting on the beach one of two lookout towers. A Grade II listed square 3 story building built in the 1830’s as a lookout tower for ships in distress.
The small room at the top,accessed via the spiral staircase gives wonderful views across the North sea through the large East facing window. A hit and miss day with lots of rain showers which thankfully just kept at bay long enough for this sketch.
