Naze Tower, Navigation tower in Frinton and Walton, England.
The Naze Tower stands at 86 feet tall with an octagonal shaft, square base, and white render finish on its brick construction.
Trinity House constructed this navigation beacon between 1720 and 1722 to guide ships traversing the treacherous waters of the North Sea.
The tower houses rotating art exhibitions across five floors, displaying works from East Anglian artists throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors can climb 111 steps to reach the viewing platform, which presents views of the surrounding coastline and the lighthouse at Orford Ness.
Coastal erosion has moved the tower's position from its original quarter-mile inland location to just 50 meters from the cliff edge.
