Overbury's Folly
ഓവർബറീസ് ഫോളി
A viewing platform on a seaside cliff in Thalassery, built by a British judge in the 19th century, with views over the Arabian Sea and the old pier.
This site was built in the mid-19th century by British judge Overbury. He had planned a leisure garden here, but the project was never completed, and the place came to be called Overbury's 'Folly'. Today it is a small park with walking paths and open-air cafés, where locals gather in the evenings to watch the sea and chat. Entry is free. It is about 500 meters from Thalassery Fort and can be reached on foot.
