Visiting Tor House and Hawk Tower
Tor House is now owned by the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation, and has been preserved so that much of it looks as it did in Robinson Jeffers' time. Tours of the buildings are limited to six people, and are given hourly from 10am to 3pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations must be made in advance by calling the Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation offices.
Photography of Tor House and Hawk Tower is only allowed during the annual Garden Party, which takes place in early May of every year.

But wait through fish scale, shale dust, bone

“Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building—like Tower Bridge—or a classical front put on a steel frame—like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living—not something added, like sugar on a pill.”
—Eric Gill (1882–1940)
