Up the tower


We made good use of a recent sunny Saturday morning to climb the 187 narrow steps to the top of the tower, high above Southwell Minster. The flag pole, held in place by the steel ropes visible on the photo, is a former ship’s mast.

The panoramic views extend into Leicestershire and Lincolnshire. Looking north-east, the course of the long-closed railway line that once served the town follows the valley of the Greet down towards the Trent.
