Castle Craig is a stone observation tower on East Peak above Meriden, within the Hubbard Park landscape.
The tower and summit setting offer a distinctive destination for views across the surrounding hills and developed valley.
Check the city’s current road and tower-access information before traveling; vehicle access is seasonal and weather dependent. If hiking, choose a marked route appropriate to your fitness and carry a map and water. Reaching the summit does not guarantee tower entry. Follow current signs and keep clear of exposed edges, particularly in poor weather.
