Broadway Tower is an 18th-century building near the village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire. It is a Grade II listed building.
The tower is built of limestone ashlar and is four storeys high, hexagonal, with three round corner turrets, battlements and gargoyles. It stands above the village of Broadway on Broadway Hill, the second-highest point of the Cotswolds, at an elevation of 1,024 feet (312 m). The tower itself is 65 feet (20 m) tall.Although sometimes referred to as a folly, it is a functional building with interior rooms, the top three floors being used as a museum. The rooftop viewing platform can be accessed for good views. Two of the turrets each contain a spiral staircase from ground to roof.
A nice shot of the tower and the setting with the people walking up the pathway. Thank you for the background information too, Carol! Those spiral staircases would be a challenge, but the view would be quite something! Fav
I must have seen this tower at some juncture, I've been all over the Cotswolds - it does look familiar. Nicely detailed, crisp capture, fab composition with the people for extra interest and a sense of scale and context.
