Last updated: 12 March, 2024
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.
