A(spontaneously) long walk on a lovely Spring day from Broadway to Prestbury, taking in Gloucestershire's two highest hills in one go. Broadway - Seven Wells Hills - Upper Coscombe - Roel Hill - Cleeve Hill - Prestbury. Easy access to the summit from the road.thesweetcheat12/03/2022
Parking Area to the south of Broadway Outside the church near Broadway Court. Followed the Footpath then used tracks through the woods which look well used to get eh summit area in the field above. Returned via Broadway Tower and Broadway. Lovely Sunny Day.Jephcote8325/09/2021

Birthday visit to Broadway tower and nearby equipped ROC nuclear monitoring bunker with woodland stroll to highpoint. Worth the entrance fee, better views from tower which has interesting displays on its history and nice looking cafe. Free parking on road if not busy.Denise 27/05/2019

Broadway Tower a much more fitting top!jenx02/01/2019
A detour from Broadway Tower when doing the Chipping Campden to Broadway section of the Cotswold Way. Too flat to get much in the way of views but an easy one to tick off.milimana18/10/2018
Verge parking in the trees to the west. 2 minutes each way.moorsman05/08/2018

Pity this summit is a.n.other field and not at the slightly lower Broadway Tower on the fine crest of the steep slope with its views. Obsessive collectors are not new here as in the 18thC William Morris who rented Broadway Tower had the largest collection of manuscripts in the world and aimed – but failed to have one copy of every book in the world -all stored in the Tower. (For a modern phenomenal climbing book kleptomaniac - look up Geoff Millburn) Presumably Morris had his own version of stacks and MOD type challenges which thwarted his completion. He must have liked living in draughty buildings because he founded the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1870. By way of contrast today visitors can also see a fully preserved (totally draught proof for grim reasons) nuclear fallout monitoring bunker from the 1960's (sobering).Chris Pearson17/02/2017
First visit ever, from the roadside 5m. below. Driven along the road many times, visited Broadway Tower and walked to/from Broadway or Chipping Campden to the tower even more times. A view does open up most of the way round from the Hu summit, but it lacks depth.pwheeler24/12/2016
Pleasant circular walk from Broadway caravan club site via Broadway Tower [and tearoom] Unremarkable summit on field headland.sooztops16/10/2016
Circuit out from Broadway village via the tower (not worth the steep entry fee, but outstanding views from the hilltop there), Snowshill Manor (fascinating - definitely worth a visit) & Shenberrow Hill. Nice walk. Easy access to the summit here as described previously; no views from the summit itself.wheresthepath01/06/2016
From Broadway Tower parking along road then field edge, back to tower then down Cotswold way to Broadway, V warm & sunny, some breeze, hazy long views.apricorum12/05/2016

2/7 A short walk from road to the small tree....another easy bag reallyFergalh12/12/2014
As described by previous hill baggers. There's an unplouged strip at the field edge, and even the faintest of paths as far as the young tree, suggesting that quite a few people make the short trip. A stone's throw from Broadway Tower where there is a free car park and cafe too.ijpowell17/03/2014

Walked over from Broadway Tower, easy access on unploughed field edge.rhalstead21/03/2013
Walked up from Broadway. Super views and even better from the top of the tower. Bit expensive at £4.50 to get in though.simon and co30/11/2012
Easy access for this short trespass along stone wall, with easy roadside parking. Nothing special but red sunset added to autumn colours, so more pleasant than expectedHillsidenick17/11/2012
