Standing on the cliffs above Kimmeridge Bay, and close by the South West Coast Path, Clavell Tower was built in 1830-1 by the Rev John Richards Clavell.
Originally an observatory and folly, it later became a coastguard's lookout before falling out of use in the First World War.

Endangered by cliff erosion, the tower was dismantled and rebuilt further back from the cliff's edge in 2005-8 by the Landmark Trust.
The tower has been fully restored and is fully furnished as a holiday let for 2 people, so if you fancy staying somewhere just a little bit different, this could be the place for you!
