Description
After absorbing the views from the summit of Allt-yr-Esgair we followed a steep narrow path down through the woodland on its western slopes and soon came upon the building identified on our map as "Paragon Tower". I had been told that this might bear some resemblance to the roundhouse near Abercraf, which I featured on Images of Wales in October 2002. We later discovered that Paragon Tower is an early 19th century hunting lodge.

The outer walls encircle a central chimney stack.

This general view from the south-west shows a curved wall projecting to the south.
