after reading oldscrotes thread found this one local to me so decided to take a look with the wife
Roger's folly was built on the ramparts of an Iron age fort on the summit of Castle-an-Dinas. The tower was built sometime in the 18th century for a Mr Rogers, a local landowner
reminded me of a big sand castle

That is cool and it does look like a big sandcastle lol nice one muppet :)
 
Loving both of these & must take these in when I'm down there next. I love the fact that the cottage is just a shell & within lies remains of a Belfast sink & an Aga. Quality planters! Thanks for sharing :)
 
Nice one! I must go down and have a look at that. It sees to be the thing down here with the old aga's etc. most old cottages I stick my nose into seem to have them in. Thanks for the post..:)
 
Love the barren, windswept house. Thought it was abandoned 200 years ago until I saw the sink and range; looks like there were people there up until 60 or 70 years ago, maybe even less.
 
What a cute little folly. Love the cottage and the belfast sink and the old wood burner under the chimney. Nice find muppet :)
