Overbury's Folly
     One of the popular tourist spots in the town, Overbury's Folly, was built by E. N. Overbury a local British judge in the 1870.





     Thalassery Beach lies 22 kilometers from Kannur. The town of Thalassery is famous as the First British settlement in West India. The Thalassery Beach is the site of the magnificent Thalassery Fort. Other attractions of this quiet beach are the St. Rosario Church, the Lighthouse, and the collector's mansion. The quiet sandy beach is an ideal spot for a romantic picnic, or just some frolic with friends.

     The quiet Brennen cemetery holds the remains of many British administrators and their family members. The Sree Ramaswamy temple is another landmark you will come across on your Thalassery Beach Tours. The stone carvings of the temple are 4 centuries old, and are widely known for their exquisite craftsmanship and technique. The Trichambaram Temple, close to the Thalassery Beach, is devoted to Lord Krishna. Also visit the Gundert Bungalow, once the residence of the missionary Herman Gundert. Spend the day playing beach sports, swimming in the warm waters of the sea, or taking in the sight of the magnificent sailboats cruising off on their business of fishing.
