Waypoints

Chipping Campden Town Centre

Highlight • Settlement

Chipping Campden is one of the prettiest towns in the Cotswolds. The old wool merchants town has impressive architecture, some of which dates to medieval times, and boasts a reputation for having the most beautiful high street in England.

There are a number of notable gardens nearby, including Hidcote and Kiftsgate, and plenty of walks, including the 104-mile Cotswold Way, which starts in the town and follows the escarpment all the way to Bath.

View from Dover's Hill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Dover's Hill is a 754 feet (230 m) hill in the Cotswolds area of central England. The hill is 1 mile (1.6 km) north-west of Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire. Dover's Hill and the surrounding land is the property of The National Trust.

On the top of the hill is a trig point, and also a toposcope illustrating many of the landmarks that are visible from it. These include the Black Mountains in South Wales and the Long Mynd in Shropshire (nearly 60 miles / 97 km away).

A monument of 1934 commemorates Robert Dover, founder of the Cotswold Olimpick Games, precursor of the modern Olympic Games.

Broadway Tower

Highlight • Castle

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.

Broadway Village

Highlight • Settlement

As the name suggests, the picturesque village of Broadway is dominated by a wide main street lined with independent shops, restaurants, hotels and antique dealers. The Cotswold scarp runs down through the valley into the Evesham Vale. As such, it makes a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

Snowshill Manor and Garden

Highlight • Historical Site

The National Trust owned Snowshill Manor and Garden is a manor house packed with extraordinary treasures. An adult ticket costs £7.10 and a child costs £3. For more information, visit: nationaltrust.org.uk/snowshill-manor-and-garden.

Stanton Village

Highlight • Settlement

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.

22.3 km

Gatehouse at Stanway House

Highlight • Historical Site

Stanway is a fine example of a Jacobean manor house. Owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years, for the last 500 years it has been owned by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss, who still live there. The house, its fascinating furniture, gatehouse, church and 14th-century tithe Barn, 18th-century water-garden, specimen trees and avenues, create an enclave of English harmony.
