At the summit, adjacent to Kemerton Camp, is a small stone tower called Parsons Folly which stands at GPS coordinates (52.059963, -2.064606).

The tower was built in the mid-18th century for John Parsons, MP (1732–1805), squire of Kemerton Court and intended as a summer house, from which a more extensive view of the surrounding countryside could be seen.

The current owners, Overbury Estate, lease out the tower as a mobile phone base station, and a number of large aerials have been fitted to its exterior.

During the English Civil War Bredon Hill was the site of a gathering of Clubmen on 11 November 1645, after which they declared their support for Parliament.

[1] Like the main Cotswold range of which it is a geological outlier, the hill is formed from a succession of Jurassic age mudstones, limestones and siltstones.

The slopes of the hill beneath the Inferior Oolite rocks of the summit surface are substantially affected by landslips on all sides.

Each of these stones is itself formed from smaller fragments of oolitic limestone, naturally cemented together by calcite and likely having gathered in an earlier cleft or 'gull' in the hillside.

[3] Bredon Hill is one of the most important wildlife sites in England, providing a range of habitats including ancient woodland, calcareous grassland and scrub.

A large number of public footpaths and bridleways cross the hill from the villages circling its base, and allow for a variety of circular routes to be devised.

Bredon Hill is the birthplace of farmer and writer Fred Archer (1915–1999), whose many books describe, in vivid prose, life on the farms and in the villages, particularly during the first part of the 20th century.

The author John Moore described life on and around Bredon Hill in the early 20th century in the Brensham Trilogy.
