The View From Guys Tower

We climbed the steps to the top of the tower, which was not easy with Zac asleep in the rucksack on my back. This is the view.

Guy's tower was completed in 1395 and stands 39 m high. It has twelve sides. The first four stories were used for living accommodations and the fifth story is a Hexagonal guardroom. The narrow slit windows were for archers to defend the castle and the larger windows were made to allow use of small cannons during the English Civil War.
