Today’s nice weather trip was a well being outing to a favourite place for our customer - Broadway Tower.
Broadway Tower is a grade 2 listed iconic landmark on top of the beautiful Cotswolds created in 1799 with a viewing platform on the top at 312m above sea level. Originally built by the 6th Earl Of Coventry for his wife. There is a bonfire beacon nearby which in 1837 was used as a beacon for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee. It was built on the site of the Campden Wonder executions in 1662 where a mother and her two sons were wrongly hanged.
There is a memorial to the crew of a bomber that crashed there during a training mission in 1943. In the 1950’s an underground Royal Observer Corps monitoring post was built, it was decommissioned during the 1990’s but it has now been restored and is accessible to visitors.
One of the cafe’s is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet (we didn’t try the other cafe). Apart from the tower the rest of the site is very wheelchair accessible with a decent pathway and the ability to admire the spectacular views that stretch as far as the Welsh mountains to the west, Birmingham and Telford to the north and Oxford to the east.
Our customer thoroughly enjoyed the day.
With the exception of Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day it is open all year. For enquiries regarding wheelchair accessible vehicle for a family member or yourself for days out, email - [email protected] or call 079767 772945
