Broadway Tower
Arriving at Fish Hill picnic area we park the minibus and start our walk to Broadway Tower. A gently undulating walk along the Cotswolds Way (0.85 miles / 1.4km) that takes approximately 25-30 minutes at a leisurely pace.
Cotswolds
Perched on top of Beacon Hill - the second highest point in the Cotswolds - Broadway Tower has plenty of stories to tell and stunning views of the English countryside.
