Our absolute favourite place. Beautiful village/small town, stunning walks up to the tower. Great shops, museum and restaurants/coffee shops. The Lygon Arms is amazing for an atmospheric cocktail and Russells for fish and chips. And there is a great old style sweet shop in the arcade.

The most stunning tower and views. The walk up from Broadway from the car park (head to back and turn left along brook and keep climbing to tower). At the top you will be rewarded with a stunning tea room and shop in a large barn. We prefer to walk down as the views as amazing.
