This observation tower is named the 'Boston Pendulum' and was designed by the Belgian architect Paul Robbrecht. It is one of two towers on the Water Rail Way designed by Robbrecht. The other is positioned at the Lincoln end of the trail and is titled 'Lincoln Stump'. It is an interesting place to stop and take a look at the surrounding countryside.
