==Views== [[File:Broadway Lygon Arms.jpg|thumb|Broadway, Worcestershire]] As it closely follows the scarp of the Cotswold Edge, the Cotswold Way usually affords views, mainly to the north and west—starting in the south with the [[River Severn|Severn Estuary]] and [[Severn crossing|Severn bridges]], the [[meanders]] of the River Severn above [[Sharpness, Gloucestershire|Sharpness]], the [[Forest of Dean]], the [[Wales|Welsh]] hills of [[Monmouthshire]] and the [[Black Mountains, Wales|Black Mountains]] on the Welsh border to the west. The distinctive shape of [[May Hill, Gloucestershire|May Hill]] is visible for much of the route, as is the long spine of the [[Malvern Hills]]. [[Gloucester Cathedral]] can be seen from the path. Further north on the path, above [[Cheltenham]], there are old quarries containing rock features such as the [[Devil's Chimney (Gloucestershire)|Devil's Chimney]] at [[Leckhampton]]. After [[Cleeve Hill, Gloucestershire|Cleeve Hill]] the escarpment starts to turn to the east, giving views across the [[Vale of Evesham]]. The classic Cotswold villages of [[Stanton, Gloucestershire|Stanton]] and [[Stanway, Gloucestershire|Stanway]] are visited, then [[Broadway, Worcestershire|Broadway village]], before the final steep ascent to [[Broadway Tower, Worcestershire|Broadway Tower]] and the scenic descent to [[Chipping Campden]]. On a clear day, the [[Clee Hills]] near [[Ludlow]] can be seen, {{convert|60|mi|km|0}} to the northwest.
