Broadway tower

Broadway (Worcestershire), England

Broadway tower was built in the late 18th century on Broadway hill, the second highest point in the Cotswolds.  It was originally built for decorative purposes, but took the appearance of a castle.  Over the centuries, it has been used for a variety of purposes, from things such as home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillips, a country retreat for artists to a unique vantage point to spot enemy planes during the wars.  Today you can visit this tower and see for yourself what they have used it for and at the same time enjoy the delightful views all around you.
