Broadway
Sitting proudly in the Cotswolds, Broadway and its honey-coloured buildings feels untroubled by time and apart from its old-world beauty is noted for antiques, art and local crafts.
The ‘Lygon Arms’ was one of the first staging posts to exploit the town’s position on the Worcester to Oxford road while St Eadburgh’s was the village church for 700 years until the Victorians built St Michael’s near the village green.
Overlooking the village is Broadway Tower, a folly designed for the 6th Earl of Coventry and one-time home to the influential designer William Morris.
Twelve counties can be viewed from the top of the Tower which is open to the public.
A few miles away are the lavender fields of Snowshill, Charles Paget-Wade’s arts and crafts garden and the National Trust’s Snowshill Manor.
The largest Cotswold village set in Worcestershire. Nestling in the shadow of Fish Hill which is topped by Broadway Tower, this delightful village deserves a visit.
The broad High Street that so obviously on sight gives the village its name is bordered by a stream. A wide range of craft shops, boutiques, and gift shops make this an ideal stopping off point during your visit to Broadway. You will find restaurants, tea rooms, bistros, cafes and inns all happy to provide refreshments for you.
Broadway also offers a variety of accommodation from top-class hotels, guest houses and bed and breakfast.
