Not the easiest place to find. There is a small layby on Liley lane opposite Mone Bros quarry. Just before the entrance to the quarry, there is a public footpath leading up to the temple. The path is clear and leads directly to the temple. Be careful entering the temple as there is a circular hole inside temple.
Tucked away architectural oddity, sadly in a state of disrepair. Nice walks and excellent views.
A good hour's walk from Lepton. Good view west and north from the top.
Amazing place to walk too! I just wish the land owner would make it slightly easier to get too, we got so lost trying to find it and then when we did the field was covered in manure so not the most enjoyable. But a beautiful bit of history.
Finally made it up to the tower. Amazing views, shame about the rubbish.
