Broadway Tower, Worcestershire

[1] The tower is built of limestone ashlar and is four storeys high, hexagonal, with three round corner turrets,[a] battlements and gargoyles.

The tower is on the Cotswold Way, and can be reached by following this footpath from the A44 road at Fish Hill, or by a steep climb out of Broadway village.

It is now the centre of Broadway Tower Country Park, which has exhibitions open to the public for a fee, as well as a gift shop and restaurant.

[4] The Saxon-style tower was the brainchild of landscaper Capability Brown, designed by architect James Wyatt in 1794[3][5] in the form of a castle, and built by the 6th Earl of Coventry for his wife Barbara in 1798–1799.

The tower was just visible from the Coventrys' home at Croome Court in south Worcestershire,[4] about 15 miles (24 km) to the north-west, past the north escarpment of Bredon Hill.
