The biggest Cotswold outlier, just short of a thousand feet high with magnificent views across the Avon and Severn valleys.

The top of Bredon Hill is a fascinating place; a folly, a strange shaped rock and an Iron Age hillfort!

The folly itself actually looks like it really is an industrial tower housing mobile phone equipment, but the views are very good. Nearby is the Elephant Stone - it looks like an Elephant kneeing down. Not far from the Cotswold Stone drystone wall is the circular stone that marks the very top of Bredon Hill.

Very nice view over the area

Good parking, half a dozen spaces on Woollas Hill, near Deer Park centre. Views on way up to Folly are spectacular. Good to get the climb out the way early with gentle, long descent in to Broadway.

299m hill with fantastic views of Malvern Hills, Pershore, and Avon Valley. Also, this is the first Cotswolds hill from the Worcestershire side.

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

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.

Nice views from this monument down over Hailes Abbey and the Cotswold’s. It's at 269 m which gives good views to the north and west.

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.

Kemerton Camp is a hillfort on the top of Bredon Hill in Worcestershire. With a steep escarpment dropping away on the north side of the Hill, it has two sets of ramparts and ditches to the south. The inner ramparts possibly date to 300BC. Excavations at Kemerton Camp in the 1930s uncovered, near the entrance to the inner ramparts of the fort, the burial place of some 50 slaughtered men, along with a great number of weapons. Are they evidence of a last stand against the Roman invasion, or of some internecine strife between warring tribes ? Adjacent to Kemerton Camp is a small stone tower called Parsons Folly (or the Banbury Stone Tower) which was built in the mid-18th century for John Parsons, MP (1732–1805), squire of Kemerton Court and intended as a summer house.

Parsons' Folly was built as a folly in the 18th century by Mr Parsons of Kemerton, it is 39 feet high, the summit of Bredon Hill is 961 feet above sea level thus making the top of the folly exactly 1,000 feet above sea level. Spread below is the vale through which both the Avon and Severn, on the horizon are the Malvern Hills.

Historic Bredon Hill stands proud in isolation. From its 981-foot (299 m) summit you can gaze out across Worcestershire to the Malverns and south into the rolling Cotswolds. Scenic magnificence. The hill was once an Iron Age hillfort, known as Kemerton Camp and it then became an important Roman encampment. In the 18th century, the squire of Kemerton Court erected a small stone tower, Parsons Folly. A number of ancient standing stones also adorn the hill.

If using a road bike, the car park at the top is all gravel/stone and hard to cycle on. You'll need to walk to get to the tower which is about 200 metres away. Also worth getting up there by sunrise for a satisfying ride.

Fantastic views over the Malverns and towards Wales.

Great views including Malvern. I would imagine Malvern could be great at sunset.
