Broadway Tower is a folly located at the highest point (1,024 feet above sea level) of the Cotswolds, England. On a good day, thirteen counties can be seen from the top of the tower.
It was designed to resemble a mock castle by James Wyatt, and built for Lady Coventry in 1797. The hill upon which the tower was built was a "beacon" hill, upon which beacons were lit upon special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered if a beacon upon this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester, and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. The beacon could be seen clearly.
Over the years, the tower was home to the printing press of Sir Thomas Phillips, and served as a country retreat for artists including William Morris.
