The scenic four-mile walk to Broadway Tower
A gentle climb from Broadway, rewarded with one of the Cotswolds’ finest views.
A short climb, with a view at the end.
The walk from Broadway to the tower is an easy way to get out into the countryside without giving up a whole day to hiking. The route suits most fitness levels and works particularly well later in the day, when the summer light lingers over the hills. Take your time at the top before making your way back into Broadway.
Four miles through classic Cotswold countryside.
The route climbs gradually from Broadway, opening out onto wide views as you make your way towards the tower. At around four miles there and back, it has enough of a climb to feel like an outing without becoming a serious hike.
Back in Broadway, something cold awaits.
Finish in the village with a drink at The Swan, the ideal place to settle back in after the walk. A late-afternoon start makes this especially appealing in summer, when there is still plenty of daylight left for a leisurely drink before dinner.
Take lunch to the top.
Broadway Tower sits high above the surrounding countryside, with views stretching across several counties. Bring a picnic and find a spot to sit for a while, the kind of view that deserves more than a quick glance before heading back down.
