Comments
The Albert Tower was built to commemorate the Royal Visit of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria in 1847. Prince Albert was rowed ashore at Ballure where he made his way up the glen. Then into Lhergy Frissel where he climbed to the top of the hill. There he viewed the surrounding town of Ramsey and the northern plan. The hill was renamed Albert Mount and a year later the foundation of the tower was laid. Made of granite and rising 45 feet high, the tower stands as a landmark not only for Ramsey, but also for the Isle of Man.
