Overbury's Folly is a seaside park with a watch tower. It is located less than a kilometer fromThalassery, acommercial town on theMalabar Coast in theKannur district,Kerala,India. It is named after its builder, E.N. Overbury, who served as a local judge at Thalassery in the 1870s.
In 1879, Overbury wanted to construct a picnic area at the cliff. He couldn't complete it, but the spot later earned the name "Overbury's Folly". It commands sweeping views of theArabian Sea.[1]
Today, Overbury's Folly has been renovated and redecorated as a tourist attraction. It is frequented by local people in the evenings as a place to relax and watch the sun set. A seaside open-air coffee shop has also been opened there.[2]
