Nore Folly
Nore Folly (also known as Slindon Folly) is a stone construction located near Slindon Village, West Sussex, United Kingdom. The folly resembles a gateway but is a decorative piece which leads to nowhere.〔(Nore Folly, otherwise known as Slindon Folly, at Slindon in West Sussex )〕 It was built of flint in the 18th century by the Newburgh family, possibly due to the countess's liking an Italian picture of a building.
The National Trust, which restored the folly in 1993, states that Nore Folly was "built in 1814 for the Countess of Newburgh’s picnic parties".〔(Eartham to Puck Lane and Nore Hill Folly walk - National Trust )〕 At that time there was a small covered building attached, which has since been torn down. It has been designated as a Grade II listed building.〔("The Folly, Slindon" ). ''British Listed Buildings''.〕
A well-used, although somewhat steep, walking path leads up to Nore Folly,〔(Route detail - Ramblers )〕 at which there is an outlook with a clear view over the countryside,〔(Slindon Estate, West Sussex: walk of the week - Telegraph )〕 including a view of Halnaker Windmill, a long section of the coastline, Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower, Chichester Cathedral, and Bognor Regis.
The folly has been featured on a first day cover designed by British First Day Covers Limited in 2006.〔(Modern Architecture, Nore Folly, West Sussex | First Day Cover / BFDC ) Accessed 17 March 2012〕
