Perched on Towan Head overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Newquay, this distinctive 14th-century whitewashed stone building was originally constructed as a lookout during Cornwall's pilchard fishing era. Featuring a round design with a prominent chimney, the site was once used by watchers to spot shoals and signal directions to fishing boats waiting below.
