It can get quite busy here but footpaths head off in every direction and it won&#8217;t be long before you leave the crowds behind. This undulating loop follows parts of the Cotswold Way &#8211; and if you break the walk to climb the steps to the top of Broadway Tower (a prominent late 18th-century folly on the Cotswold edge &#8211; there&#8217;s a charge for admission) you will be able to see sixteen UK counties on a clear day! The route has a total ascent of more than 1000 feet and features of interest include a deer park and even an underground Cold War bunker (open weekends, Apr-Oct), a few paces from the Tower. This is a fine introduction to gentle family hillwalking, with a couple of climbs, great views and &#8211; right at the end &#8211; the large Broadway play park with climbing wall, towers and zip wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/2345206\/country-walking-broadway-tower-worcestershire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2023%20Blog\/christmas-walk-broadway-tower.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Broadway Tower, Worcestershire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_bbc9973e506b5e04129531c7eaec4c55\" class=\"Inner InnerButtons\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center justify-content-md-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/route\/2345206\/country-walking-broadway-tower-worcestershire\" class=\"Button Button--blue \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tRoute for Broadway Tower Christmas walk \t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"InnerButtons__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/map-of-the-cotswolds\/\" class=\"Button Button--default \" target=\"_blank\" >\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPaper map for Broadway Tower: OS Explorer OL45&nbsp;\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__arrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g>\n<path d=\"M5 12H19M19 12L12 5M19 12L12 19\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balmoral Cairns, Aberdeenshire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cairns are man-made mounds of stone. Some mark high points and others mark trails. But on the Balmoral Estate in the southeast quarter of the Cairngorms National Park, there are 11 cairns more elaborate than any others you&#8217;ll find in Britain. Built for royalty, the Balmoral cairns mark important events in the lives of Queen Victoria and her family, who bought Balmoral Castle in 1852. It remains a favourite residence of the current queen. Building the cairns was a family affair, with each member of Victoria&#8217;s large family and entourage placing stones. Most celebrate her children&#8217;s marriages, but the largest \u2013 a huge pyramid erected in 1862 \u2013 commemorates the passing of her beloved husband Prince Albert. This walk explores forest trails linking eight of the cairns, including the oldest and grandest. Through breaks in the clustered ranks of Scots pine, you&#8217;re treated to sweeping views over Deeside and the castle, and a window on the majestic lines of Lochnagar. Rising to 3789 feet, this mountain easily earns its status as a Munro.\u00a0By Philip Thomas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"
