The China Tower, also known as the Bicton Belvedere, is located on the Rolle Estate above the Otter estuary near Sidmouth, Devon.

This handsome, octagonal castellated Gothic tower was built in 1839 by Louisa, Lady Rolle, as a surprise birthday present for her husband. The tower is said to have got its name because Lady Rolle used one of its rooms to display her rich collection of china.
