First time visiting the naze tower itself, visited the area but never climbed the tower. This time we took the trip and my 12 year old enjoyed the adventure. The view was worth the climb, it was a quiet visitor day so no rushing. We had a good look around and watched as a cloudy mist blew in from the sea and quickly covered everything below, was quite fun to see.

Lovely visit to Naze Tower. Enjoyed looking at everything on the 8 different floors, including the fabulous views from the roof. Great tea and coffee too.

A nicely restored piece of history. A friend and I on a short break in the area were pleased to find the Tower open, so many venues in the area are shut. We climbed to the top, 111 steps. The artwork on each of the floors is incredible, and for sale if you find a piece you like. Great views from the top of the Tower and the chance of a drink and snack when you get down.

Known as a place where you can find shark teeth. great for children, the tower museum can be visited. Very beautiful at low tide. For those with binoculars, you can see the port of Felixstowe
