Now a private house, this was built by the Admiralty in 1825 as a semaphore relay station linking London with Plymouth. (There was already a successful chain of similar stations connecting London with Portsmouth.) The views from Telegraph House (149m) stretch, quite literally, in every direction for several miles.
