This 25 foot wide lane leads from Follett Street to a strip of lawn which is private property.
Lookout Court, though appearing as a street, is open for foot traffic only. Located in Marblehead’s Historic District near Abbot Hall, this public way narrows to stone steps and a small path between houses that is known as Prospect Alley. The vista offers magnificent views of the town and Marblehead Harbor.
Beginning at Follet Street, this lane runs adjacent to a stockade fence at the eastern edge of the parking lot for Chandler Hovey Park and continues over the grass down to the water. The park, with the iconic Marblehead Light Tower, is a perfect location from which to watch boats sailing in and out of the harbor.
While beginning as a paved street off Pond Street, Knight’s Hill Road quickly turns into a narrow dirt and gravel path leading down a steep hill between houses. The path exits at the corner of Dunn’s Lane and Elm Street, directly across from the Elm Street Alley. (See below.) Together, Knights Hill Road and Elm Street Alley offer a short cut from Redd’s Pond to Washington Street.
