Rating for your family
Tor House was built by 20th century poet Robinson Jeffers for himself and his family. The historic stone home is now managed by the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation, affiliated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and offers tours to the Tor House, Hawk Tower and the surrounding gardens. Visitors are able to climb Hawk Tower, reminiscent of ancient Irish stone towers, stroll through an English cottage garden rich in color, texture and fragrance and enjoy the surroundings that helped inspire some of America's finest poetry. The docent-led tours are conducted hourly every Friday and Saturday only. Children under 12 years of age are not allowed nor is photography permitted on the tours. It is highly recommended that tours are booked well in advance and at least more than a week.
