Raymeadow

The walk up to Raymeadow is one of those Cotswolds climbs that feels properly rewarding once you've crested it. You're looking at views across the Vale of Evesham and towards the Malvern Hills - on a clear day the panorama stretches far enough to make the leg work feel justified. It's a straightforward peak walk, nothing technical, though the path gets steep in places and muddy after rain.

This is walker territory, no question. If you're after dramatic vistas and don't mind a modest hike, you'll spend a good hour and a half up here taking it in. Families with younger kids might find it a bit much for what amounts to a grassy summit - the reward is the view rather than anything to do once you arrive. Bring a map and decent boots.

Broadway sits just 2.4 miles south, which makes Raymeadow a natural add-on if you're staying at one of the local caravan sites like Leedons or the Cotswold Woodland Glamping near Aston Somerville. It's not a day-long mission, more a morning or afternoon outing that pairs well with exploring the village itself or tackling other Cotswolds walks in the area.

The peak is free to access - it's open moorland - and there are no facilities up there, so come equipped. Spring and early summer clear the mud and bring decent light for photography.
