Ancient Tower, Angle This ancient tower is next to Castle Farm on a track to the rear of the village of Angle. It is a few years now since I visited it. It is (or at least was) open to the public and I was able to look around inside including climbing stairs to an upper floor and there are some informative plaques. Despite this I have been able to find nothing about it on the web. The tower is just north of the gridline and the photo was taken from practically astride it by my estimation. See also a close-up of the tower here <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/478401">SM8603 : The Tower, Angle</a>

The Tower, Angle A close-up picture of the <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/478398">SM8603 : Ancient Tower, Angle</a>. The tower is on a track that runs roughly parallel and to the north of the main lane through the village of Angle. It is situated next to Castle Farm, though I think this structure was never more than a fortified house as opposed to a castle.
