Viewpoints in the Cotswolds
Want the ‘wow’ factor? The Cotswolds isn’t mountainous, but it does have big ridge-line panoramas, wide skies, and golden sunsets that make even short walks feel special.
Types of viewpoints to look for
- Escarpment views: long panoramas over the Severn Vale and beyond.
- Tower viewpoints: man-made lookouts with a proper ‘top of the world’ feel.
- Village-edge viewpoints: short climbs from honey-stone streets into open countryside.
Pair it with
- A short loop from Easy Walks.
- A landmark stop like Broadway Tower.
