The roundhouse looks like a converted windmill as opposed to a folly. I'm sure I've seen one in South Devon that has also been converted into residential accommodation. If Mr Wildebeest can't find a railway station, maybe a windmill will suit? ;D Edit: Here is one example! www.devonwindmills.co.uk/ |

I included the Roundhouse because it was one of a number of interesting sights on the Wentworth estate. Intriguingly it's not a recent conversion to a dwelling, this happening a long time ago.
The "big house" at Wentworth - to the north of Rotherham close to the M1 - claims to be the largest in the country with the longest facade in Europe. It also has a bloody enormous garden centre with the longest restaurant queues imaginable. You'd be better trying the coffee shop at the antiques place.
And, yes, a few windmills around South Devon for all to discover. We may have been there before but always worth another visit and further discussion.

Yes, Dave, number three is Hoober Stand.
I'm mobile at the moment so more difficult posting the link. But there's information about the Wentworth Round House on the British listed buildings website. Also plenty of Google images.

A friend's 50th birthday?
But I thought Jon would be at the game!

Looks like Sidmouth to me, possibly taken just along from the lifeboat station. |

That cliff fall in the fore front of the picture only happened in the last few weeks. |
