LITERARY HEIGHTS
Pay a visit to the haunting structure that inspired J.R.R Tolkien’s creation of Minas Tirith – the perfect spot for any Lord of the Rings fan. Perrot’s Folly in Birmingham was built in 1758 by wealthy land-owner John Perrott. Romantic tales suggest he wanted to be closer to Heaven after his wife died, while others suggest it was actually for him to spy on his cheating wife before she died.
