Broadway Tower

The "Saxon" tower was designed by James Wyatt in 1794[3] to resemble a mock castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1799. The tower was built on a "beacon" hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered if a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester - approximately 22 miles (35 km) away - and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. The beacon could be seen clearly.

Envy. I visited Broadway tower once a few years ago , en route to Chipping Campden (another photographers delight)but the weather was atrocious. High wind and rain. I did attempt a few shots but they were useless. Win some lose some.

Thanks for the comment David. The weather certainly helped - I live reasonably locally to Broadway so headed off in that direction as soon as it looked as though blue skies would be sustained.

Visited the Tower on the Thursday that the rain started which caused the terrible floods.
