Broadway
Tower is one of Englands outstanding viewpoints and, at 1024
feet (312m) above sea level, it is the second highest point on the
Cotswold Ridge.
Built in 1799, it is a perfect example of an eighteenth century Gothic
folly from which it is possible to survey an area which includes as
many as thirteen counties.
The views encompass the Vales of Evesham and Gloucester and on
a clear day you may also see across the Severn Valley and as far as
the Welsh Mountains.
Today, the Tower houses fascinating exhibitions connected with its
past and the surrounding area. Noteable occupants include Sir Thomas
Phillips, renowned printer of his time and Pre-Raphaelite artists
including designer, writer and craftsman William Morris, who used
the Tower as a country retreat. The Morris Room is furnished with
some of his more famous designs.
