The view from the 'Sugar Loaf' structure you can see the Temple and the Summer house in the distance.
By our calculations almost all of the follies would be visible from each other if not for tree obstructions.

1. Summer House

|
Jack Fuller's first venture into folly building was the Coade stone summerhouse erected in 1803. It is located in the woods on the west side of Brightling Park.
The magnificent molded Coade stone facade is backed by a semicircular structure made of brickwork. There are two inscriptions on the inside of the arch that both read: "COADE SEALY LONDON".
Coade stone, an exceptionally hard and durable artificial material that closely resembles stone and was molded and then fired in a kiln. Fine examples that have weathered well include the Westminster Bridge Coade Stone Lion and Captain Bligh's Tomb both in London.
The Summerhouse had fallen into disrepair and was restored with funding from British Heritage in 1992.
