Picture of The Folly Old Colwyn

The Tan-y-Coed Tower or to give it its more popular name, The Folly, is found in Tan-y-Coed Gardens, Old Colwyn. The crenellated tower creates an impression of a medieval castle. It was built by Sir Charles Woodall, a Manchester shipping magnate who had the folly built as a retreat for his pipe smoking, and where he could escape from "'er indoors".
