DescriptionWimborne St. Giles, Philosopher's Tower - geograph.org.uk - 540073.jpg
English: Wimborne St. Giles: Philosophers Tower This folly sits in a field, clearly visible from the B3078 just south of Cranborne. It was built in around 1700, by the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury whose family held the St. Giles estate just west of here who was a noted philosopher. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower.
