The beautiful and historic Cotswold village of Broadway is a memorable place to stay and a perfect base from which to tour the local area and enjoy the stunning walks. The pretty High Street is lined with horse chestnut trees and includes a mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries. This village map may be useful to look at during your visit. Places to Stay Broadway Tower What's On Diary The Lygon Arms Hotel The Lygon Arms Hotel situated on Broadway High Street is steeped in history. It is intriguing to think that, during the Civil War, Oliver Cromwell actually spent the night at the Inn the night before the Battle of Worcester, while King Charles I had previously used the building to meet and rally his royalist supporters. Shopping Places to Visit Children's Park Places to Eat The village was originally centred around the old church, St Eadburgha’s and the stream at Bury End (records from c860) and is recorded in more detail in the Domesday Book of 1086. Records mention the “broad road” running from St Eadburgha’s to Nether End (north of the church where the old chapel was built - now the site of St Michael’s). The current High Street grew as the centre of the village gradually expanded northwards to its present location. The coaching route opened up over Fish Hill in the 1500s and Broadway became a busy stage coach stop on the route from Worcester to Oxford and London. A number of Inns were built to accommodate travellers. The village also has an interesting artistic heritage which includes some well known artists, writers, and performing artists such as William Morris, John Singer Sargent, Francis D Millet, J.M. Barrie and Mary Anderson. The furniture designer Gordon Russell grew up in Broadway and had a workshop here - we now have a great Design Museum. Abbots Grange Gordon Russell Museum Crown and Trumpet Inn Lower Mill Holiday Cottage Often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds', Broadway lies beneath Fish Hill on the western Cotswold escarpment, in the county of Worcestershire and close to the border of Gloucestershire. Broadway is just 2 hours from central London and is also within easy reach of such places as Stratford upon Avon with its Shakespeare Theatre, Warwick with the finest medieval castle in England, Regency Cheltenham, Oxford with its University Colleges, and Bath with its Roman Baths. Dormy House Hotel Laburnum Holiday Cottage Rookery Farm Glamping Sheepscombe Byre - Cottage With rooms available from £80 to £600 there is accommodation to suit all budgets from Bed & Breakfasts to Hotels or Self Catering Cottages. Broadway lies on the Walking Trail "The Cotswold Way" which runs from the market town of Chipping Campden to the City of Bath. It’s is great fun to walk a few hours of the local path if you don’t feel you want to walk the whole trail.
