A gorgeous, short, circular walk, but a steepish climb from the beautiful village of Broadway to Broadway Tower, the second highest point in the Cotswolds with stunning views over the Vale of Evesham and out to the Malverns and Black Mountains. The Tower Trust run a country park with deer and local sheep to look at and you can climb to the top of The Tower (additional cost) for great views.

We are in our early 30s and did this walk on a very sunny Wednesday in June. After the first 15/20 minutes you're walking pretty constantly uphill to the Tower and then the downhill is very rapid - pretty intense with our 10kg daughter strapped to our backs but definitely worth it for the views! We took a picnic but it seemed like the cafe at the top was pretty fancy!

We just did this lovely walk starting from the cafe near the tower. Super views and the climb back up the hill is not too hard.

A perfect little walk to do before breakfast if you’re staying in Broadway. The ascent isn’t overly steep although you’ll be climbing for much of the first hour, and the route down is quick and easy with great views of the village and surrounds. I managed it in under 1hr 30 so the quoted time is generous. If the carpark gates are locked because you’re doing an early / late walk then it’s easy to walk up to the road, turn left along Buckle St and access the gate to the Tower.
