The Pepperbox is a quirky three-sided tower built in the 1700s as a folly, standing atop a high ridge in the Salisbury Plain. Its unusual shape and prominent position make it a familiar sight on the local skyline. Visitors can approach the tower via public footpaths across farmland, enjoying expansive views of the surrounding countryside. Though the interior is not open to the public, the exterior and setting offer a rewarding short walk and photo opportunity.
