Informations supplémentaires:
Visible for miles around, Clavell Tower provides almost the only manmade intervention in the wide sweep of Kimmeridge Bay in Dorset, part of the only stretch of the English coastline so far awarded World Heritage Site designation. The Tower was built in 1830 by Reverend John Richards Clavell of Smedmore as an observatory and folly. The tower has been painstakingly dismantled and re-erected 25 metres back from the crumbling cliff face in a unique conservation solution to save Clavell Tower from falling into the sea. The project is cost £898, 000 which includes training for students from a local college in traditional stone masonry skills. Kimmeridge Bay is just a short distance from the London 2012 Olympic sailing venues at Weymouth and Portland.
