Unique surviving semaphore tower which formed part of a communication chain between London and Portsmouth. Constructed in 1822, it remained in use for 25 years before being superceded by the electric telegraph. The tower was inhabited until 1963, after which it fell into disrepair. It was initially restored in 1989, and again in 2020. The tower isn't generally open to the public, now being let out as a holiday rental, but is still interesting to see from outside. The walk from Boldermere parking area takes around 20 minutes, through pine woods and open sandy heath.

Fascinating bit of local history about a 20 min walk from the Wisley Common car park. Originally built in 1815 and falling into disrepair after being decommissioned in 1847, it has since been restored into fantastic condition and remains now the only working semaphore tower in Great Britain.
