Foredown Tower Learning and Visitor Centre
Fully refurbished and open as a visitor and Adult Learning Centre with a small café and peaceful garden, this converted Edwardian water tower is famous for housing the largest Camera Obscura in the South East.
What’s here?
The top floor is home to the viewing gallery (up a 47 step spiral staircase) with stunning 360 degree views of the coast, South Downs and across the city.
“Foredown Tower truly is an alternative learning space, set in gorgeous South Downs countryside with amazing views around Sussex. Our learners, many of whom did not necessarily have the best memories of school, feel liberated to enjoy and learn in a unique environment with a supportive atmosphere and a team focused on their success.”
– Nick Fenn, Principal, Aldridge Adult Learning
