Travel bucket list idea:
Walk to the Broadway Tower
Broadway, Worcestershire, United Kingdom (UK)
This 18th-century folly designed by Capability Brown sits on the highest point in the Cotswolds, with views over 16 counties.
The tower barely justifies an excursion, but it’s a lovely countryside walk to get there. Start from the village of Broadway and follow the signposted footpath, heading north. Soak up the scenic views as you ascend the hill, and in approximately an hour, you’ll arrive at Broadway Tower.
Logistics
When to do it
It’s a fine walk in all seasons, though spring and autumn are arguably best.
