Walton Street Offices- Buckinghamshire Council

Known locally as Pooley's Folly or Fred's Fort, County Hall is a building that can be spotted for miles! With magnificent views, we would like to offer visitors a short tour of the building which will include some history about this one of a kind brutalist building which always divides opinion! You'll be able to visit the 11th floor and see what you can spot from the window- on a clear day you might event seen the monument at Coombe Hill. Buckinghamshire Council welcome you to join us on this tour and also share your local knowledge, and ideas for local cultural community projects too. There will also be an opportunity to learn more about Buckinghamshire Council's Community Boards and how you can get involved. Binoculars are not essential but welcomed. We can't guarantee the weather for the view but there's lots to learn and share.
