Overbury's Folly

Overbury's Folly Thalassery ....!


Overbury's Folly is an unfinished construction and is generally regarded as an architectural folly,that now serves as a recreational park located in Thalassery.

 

 The name of the park is derived from E N Overbury who served his office as the Sub Collector of the region. With the aim of developing it into a picnic spot, he started the construction of this park in 1879. Unfortunately, he could not complete the construction and hence the spot was named ‘Overbury’s folly’. This park was renovated later, and now it serves as a major tourist attraction in Thalassery.

Its located on a hill adjacent to Thalassery Muncipal Stadium .
