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

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

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.

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 Anglican Church of St James at Chipping Campden in the Cotswold District of Gloucestershire, England was built in the 15th century incorporating an earlier Norman church. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_St_James,_Chipping_Campden

St James' Church as you see it today is a 15th century building but it incorporated parts of the earlier Norman church. The Norman church would have dated back to around 1180. It's grade 1 listed.

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.

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.

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.
