*A deserted lighthouse on a golden sandy beach has a strange moaning statue at its top.
*A future king turned his nose up when offered a stately folly castle.

Every folly has a tale to tell about the special people who built them as if the follies themselves are a window into another age or world, one which is fun and well worth exploring.
