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.
