Broadway Tower is a historic folly perched on top of the Cotswold escarpment near Broadway, Worcestershire. Families will love the stunning panoramic views from the top (accessible via a spiral staircase) and the surrounding parkland with picnic areas and woodland walks. The tower itself houses a small museum with exhibits on local history and the tower's origins.
Key highlights for families:
Spectacular views over 16 counties on a clear day
On-site café serving snacks and hot drinks
Play area for younger children
Seasonal events like Easter egg hunts and Halloween trails
Dog-friendly (on leads) – great for a family day out with pets
Practical tips: The tower has 65 steps to the top, so it may not be suitable for very young children or those with mobility issues. There is ample free parking. The site is mostly outdoor (wrap up warm in winter) but the museum and café provide indoor shelter. Recommended for children aged 4 and up, but babies in carriers are fine.
