Embark on a moderate 5.0-mile (8.0 km) hike through the picturesque Cotswolds, starting from the charming village of Broadway. This route, which takes about 2 hours and 21 minutes to complete, features a mix of grass, dirt, and stony paths, with some paved sections in the village. You will experience steep uphill climbs on your way to Broadway Tower, gaining 754 feet (230 metres) in elevation, and corresponding downhill sections on the return. As you ascend, you will pass through native woodlands and rolling hills, with views gradually opening up to reveal the stunning countryside.
While the path can be muddy after rain, it is generally accessible for those with moderate fitness, and recent improvements have made the route stile-free. The trail begins and ends in Broadway, allowing you to explore its boutique shops and historic buildings before or after your hike. There is no specific mention of trailhead access, parking, or public transport in the research, but starting from the village center is implied. Plan your visit to enjoy the panoramic views from the tower, which are best on a clear day.
This loop is notable for following a section of the renowned Cotswold Way, a 102-mile National Trail. The iconic 18th-century Broadway Tower, designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown, sits on Beacon Hill, the second-highest point in the Cotswolds. From here, you can see across 16 English and Welsh counties, including the Severn Vale and the Black Mountains. The route was even voted 73rd in a 2017 ITV poll for Britain's Favourite Walk, highlighting its popularity and appeal.
