Here's a fun fact you might not know: There's a Northernmost Point buoy in Angle Inlet, Minnesota (of the "contiguous" 48).

Do you think the lines ever get as long as they do for the Southernmost Point buoy?

Getting your picture in front of both of them could make a great bucket list item 😀

The real "Rapunzel" Tower, in the English Countryside 👑

King Alfred's tower is 49 metres tall. Built between 1762 and 1779, it was designed by architect Henry Flitcroft who used more than a million red bricks. It is believed to mark the place where King Alfred the Great gathered his troops in 878.

The tower commemorates George III's ascension to the throne in 1760 and the end of the Seven Years War. The triangular tower is hollow, but it has an inside staircase (205 steps) to climb to the top. From there you can take in the spectacular vistas across Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset counties.
