This is an 11 mile walk 2 boot, and there are a couple of steep climbs. Broadway is almost synonymous with the Cotswolds and yet, with its wide main street ploughing busily up the lower slopes of the escarpment, it is hardly a typical Cotswold Village. The Cotswolds is an area renowned for its attractive and historic villages scattered across undulating hills. We start at Broadway and head for the prominent landmark of Broadway Tower, a Gothic Folly on one of the highest points in the Cotswolds, where you will get extensive views. The route then takes us past the Snowshill lavender fields. We then head for Stanton which has been called the perfect Cotswold village. Once back we can have a cream tea or a well earned drink in one of Broadway’s finest hostelries.
This is a joint walk led by Brunel Plus.
Bring packed lunch.
Meet: 9:00am at Aldi/Pizza Hut, Bradley Stoke. Alternatively meet at 10:15am in the public car park in Broadway, on the Leamington Road (B4632). The car park is set back from the road and behind an arch. Please note that this is NOT the main Broadway coach and car park which is at the other end of the High Street. This is a pay and display car park so please bring some change.
Drive up the High Street and look out for the Horse and Hounds pub on the left. The Leamington Road (B4632) is left after this at a mini roundabout. The car park turning is then about 100m on the right. The Horse and Hounds pub has the following postcode WR12 7DT
