King Alfred’s Tower in Somerset, taken with my Mini 3 Pro on Sunday.
Unfortunately, the tower was shut, so I couldn’t walk up the 200 steps to the top to snap my “High as Kite Aerial Image” for one of February’s challenges.
This triangular tower, two miles north-west of Stourhead garden, was designed by Henry Flitcroft for Stourhead’s second owner, Sir Henry Hoare II. The Tower is named after King Alfred who raised his standard here in 870. The tower commemorates the accession of George III in 1760 and the end of the Seven Years’ War.
