A local farmer advised that there are plans to open up a trail between Moore Hall and Towerhill.

There is some work renovation going on but not on the house sadly. The bridge is been repaired to what it was in beginning and the ever winding river with it's small island's are to be opened up. They have also maintained the road so its easier to walk up to see our hidden gem in the forest. There is more plans in the pipeline for Towerhill but not confirmed yet. It saddens me to think after all these years the house was never saved but Moorehall was. There are maps online of the grounds and this river plans but I can't find them. It's a project in progress Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742198762744188099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048571566108279175.post-22306198369931854122021-02-08T10:04:41.240-08:002021-02-08T10:04:41.240-08:00My mother in her mid eighties and distant relative...My mother in her mid eighties and distant relative of the Blake’s recalls they weren’t wanted around the house as kids .

As children we spent our youth playing in the "Big House" as we call it. It's such a pitty how it was robbed of its beauty some of its stone went to moorehall house the beautiful bridge over the river was stolen. Towerhill was forgotten and neglected you can hardly walk up there anymore. It's a beautiful sad hidden story licked away in the woods just forgotten aboutAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02742198762744188099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7048571566108279175.post-90462133143328630352019-12-04T06:00:10.365-08:002019-12-04T06:00:10.365-08:00I am fascinated by this house and it's history...I am fascinated by this house and it's history.
