The Single Beech, also known as lone or lonely beech, is a single-standing windswept beech tree holding the title as the tallest tree in the Cotswolds, standing at 317m high.

There is a magnificent 360 degree panoramic view here where you can really appreciate the scenes of the Cotswolds and surrounding area, including views across Cheltenham, Gloucester & over the Severn Vale to Wales.

Benches with a view and some lovely messages. Ideal pack lunch stop.

It’s a tree, on a hill, with a bit of a bench around it near a golf course.
