Designed in about 1740 by William Kent, the Eyecatcher is one of the earliest examples of a sham ruin. It is to be viewed from Rousham Park and gives meaning to Horace Walpole's words about Kent 'He leaped the fence and saw that all nature was a garden.'

A folly in a field but a lovely area to walk on the footpaths in the area

It's the most romantic spot on Earth for me. This is where to Yanks from RAF Upper Heyford fell in love. It was the place where we became engaged. As noisy as the Base was, it was so peaceful to walk there and escape our busy lives.
