Broadway Tower
Recommended by
Overview
Members of the Arts and Crafts Movement used the Tower, which was completed in 1798, as a holiday retreat – artists William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones were frequent visitors. The vantage point was also used to track enemy planes during World War II. Nowadays there’s the Tower Museum, a rooftop viewing platform, a dog-friendly café, shop, deer park and a telescope to enhance the stunning views.

About the area
Worcestershire is a county of rolling hills, save for the flat Vale of Evesham in the east and the prominent spine of the Malverns in the west. Nearly all of the land is worked in some way; arable farming predominates – oilseed rape, cereals and potatoes – but there are concentrated areas of specific land uses, such as market gardening and plum growing.
