Boyds Tower
Boyds Tower is located at Red Point, on the southern headland of Twofold Bay.
This historic 5-storey sandstone tower was built in 1846 from stone shipped
from Pyrmont in Sydney. Ben Boyd intended The Tower to be used as a
lighthouse to guide home his fleet of ships, but permission to light it was
refused by the government of the day. It was later used as a vantagepoint
for whale spotters. Access to The Tower was upgraded during the bicentennial
year. A 500 metre asphalt track suitable for wheelchairs now connects the
Tower to the car park. Well written and illustrated signage gives the history
and significance of the tower.
