2 Bucks County Spots Among Most 'Enchanting' In Pa., Website Says

Two spots in Bucks County are among the most enchanting places in all of Pennsylvania, according to one website.

Doylestown’s Fonthill Castle and Bowman’s Hill Tower in Washington Crossing Historic Park are among the state’s most ”enchanting” man made wonders, OnlyInYourState says.

Here’s what OnlyInYourState.com says about Fonthill:

Fonthill Castle, like Concrete City, was also constructed using the poured-in concrete method, but is a much more successful example of this architectural style. The construction of the castle began in 1908 and ended in 1912; it was the home of Henry Mercer, an important anthropologist and tile maker of the region who was also responsible for the nearby Moravian Tile Works and Mercer Museum. Crowning glory of Doylestown, Fonthill Castle has 44 rooms, 18 fire places, and over 200 windows

And here’s what the website says about Bowman’s Hill Tower:

The 125-foot tall Bowman’s Tower stands in the middle of Washington Crossing Historic Park in Bucks County. The view from the top is nothing short of incredible; the tower was built in 1931 as a memorial, although no one is certain to whom the memorial was originally erected

Other man made wonders on the list include Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, The Kinzua Bridge at Kinzua Bridge State Park and Lake Wallenpaupack.

Fonthill Castle is open for tours. Hours are Monday – Saturday from 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays from noon – 5 pm. The cost is $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and $8 for kids. Click here for details.
