Cow Tower is a late 14th-century defense tower that is situated next to the River Wensum in Norwich in Norfolk.
The tower was constructed for military reasons and was one of the earliest built artillery blockhouses in the country. It stands about 15m high with walls 1.8m thick.
Due to its fragility, the tower is closed to the public but visitors can still walk around it. Details at www.english-heritage.org.uk
