enchantedengland:   Here is something nice to encounter as you ramble happily through the forest: a Victorian folly, built before the trees grew. Follies are fanciful architecture built solely for decorative purposes, often with a deliberate ‘sham’ effect….such as constructing something to look far older than it actually is. ‘Why, there are Roman ruins in my back garden! How extraordinary!’ This one is near Bingley in West Yorkshire (bingleyman2 flickr)
