AttractioDelaware is a flat state, and there aren’t many natural overlooks. That’s why we have to rely on man-made architecture! Wilmington and Lewes offer some of the only observation towers in the whole state, and today, we’re focusing on the stunning stone castle that’s called Rockford Tower. Climb up a century-old stone tower for a view of Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley that’s one of the best overlooks in Delaware.

Rockford Park is a popular green space in Wilmington. It was a former estate donated to be preserved forever, and the hallmark of the landscape is the stone Rockford Tower.
