Shame you can’t actually go inside !

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

Very nice view over the area

pretty impressive neolithic burial mound

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.

The views from the top of the hill on the approach to the Long Barrow are well worth the calf and thigh burning walk up the steep path. Magnificent landscape.

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.

Belas Knap is a neolithic long barrow managed by English Heritage. The Cotswold Way national trail runs right past the entrance.

Parking at Daisy bank Road at the bottom is a good place to start. Be aware of MTB trails in the woods!

Really cool site - a Neolithic long barrow at the top of the hill, with a plaque detailing some history. Estimated to have been built in 3000 BC. Fairly easy to access from the pull in on Charlton Abbots road, or if you don't fancy the climb go straight on instead of following the road round to the left just before the parking.

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!

Dowdeswell Reservoir is a scenic stretch of water on the outskirts of Cheltenham. From the reservoir, you step straight into Dowdeswell Woods; a nature reserve that’s home to many species of plants and animals. Keep a lookout for birds including coot, moorhen, great crested grebe and little grebe.

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.

I have parked in the public car park just beyond the Cleeve Hill golf club car park and walked in a big loop around Cleeve Hill to Belas Knap and back. The car park is busy with dog walkers so less of a risk I guess.

The car park for Belas Knap is about half a mile away. It is notorious for vehicle break-ins. Do not leave anything valuable in your car. I'm not paranoid. However, there are too many break-ins which could be attributed to opportunist. This car park is, without doubt, under criminal surveillance when the break-ins occur. You have been warned!

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.
