Very nice view over the area

Peaceful Cotswold village and everyone smiles or speaks. Really friendly.

In the case of a "market cross," as we encounter here again, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected if the corresponding locality also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted them by the local ruler.

Reasonably easy walk and great view from tower that contributes mid journey to being refreshed.

"Stanton is a village and civil parish in Tewkesbury Borough, Gloucestershire, England. The village is a spring line settlement at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, about 2.5 miles (4 km) southwest of Broadway in neighbouring Worcestershire. Broadway is Stanton's postal town.  Its highest point is Shenberrow Hill on the escarpment in the southeast of the parish, 994 feet (303 m) above sea level. The low-lying northwestern part of the parish is bounded mostly by two streams" Source: Wikipedia

The Cotswold Way path is easy to lose at the crest of the hill at the entrance to the Broadway Tower property, as it takes a right angle turn to head toward Broadway along the stone wall and across the fields or, going the opposite direction, toward Chipping Campden down the rocky path.

Stanton is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages in the Cotswolds. Most of the houses you see today were built 400 years ago — the village church dates to the 12th century — and nearly all are made of locally quarried natural stone.

The market hall was built in 1627 to provide a shelter for traders. In the 1940s it was almost sold to an American, but the local people raised enough money to buy it instead and gave it to the National Trust to preserve. This is the start of the Cotswold Way. A 102 mile (164 km) National Trail from here to Bath.

A beautiful village with several places to eat and drink whilst you re-fuel and watch the world go by.

The King Stone is a standing stone in the Cotswolds, England, which dates back to the Bronze Age. It is believed to have been a marker for ancient trade routes or a ceremonial site.

Great start & finish point. Lots of places to have a coffee, a cup of tea or something stronger and plenty of choice if you want something to eat too. Not an expert but the shopping looks interesting as well. Worth a visit.

Worth the bloody long hill climb from Broadway either I'm unfit or there are some really fit 80 year olds who put me to shame

Broadway Tower, at the intersection of a few well kept and popular footpaths, is free to look at, but a ticket is required to go inside. When you're sweaty from the run up the steep hill to get there, everyone will be glad you don't have a ticket!

Broadway Tower is a unique castle in a breathtaking location. At 1,024 feet (312 m) above sea level, it is the second highest point on the Cotswold escarpment and boasts spectacular views that stretch into 16 counties. The ‘Saxon’ tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle. It was built for Lady Coventry between 1798–99. You can buy tickets to visit the tower.

A lovely Cotswold town that doesn't seem quite a popular with the tourists as others. Lots of pubs and cafes... antique shops and other interesting things to see.

Great walk from Buckland following the Cotswold Way to Stanton. My issue was with the style in Stanton at the start of the return trip. I walk alone with my dog, all other styles were dog friendly with dog gates except this one, there was no way we could get through. We went back and further on in the village to the footpath through the churchyard and thankfully this one had a dog gate. lovely views to Wales from the top.

Very nice Cotswold village. Cafes and shops aplenty.

Very nice Cotswolds village. Shops and cafes to stock up on supplies. It’s very posh here!

The King Stone was erected in early to middle Bronze Age, probably around 1,500 BC. Rather than relating directly to the much older Neolithic Stone Circle, the King Stone was likely erected as a permanent memorial to the Bronze Age round cairn 17m across with a central chamber, which lies immediately to the north-east set exactly on the top the ridge.
