Lady Hamilton's Folly - Vandalian Tower - Harting down - West Sussex - UK Ruin

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

The term "folly" has a specific meaning in the context of architecture, it denotes a building which was constructed solely as ornamentation, suggesting "folly" on the part of the builder.  A prominent example is the Vandalian Tower just north of Portsmouth in southern England, which you'll see in this drone video by bob the drone.  It was built in 1774 to celebrate the stillborn American colony of Vandalia.  Its nickname "Lady Hamilton's Folly" refers to Admiral Nelson's mistress, who would use it to spot his ship sailing into harbor.
