Description: Wimborne St. Giles: Philosopher’s Tower This folly sits in a field, clearly visible from the B3078 just south of Cranborne. It was built in around 1700, by the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury – whose family held the St. Giles estate just west of here – who was a noted philosopher. It is thought that he did a lot of his philosophising in this tower, and from this suggestion it has become known as the Philosopher's Tower.
