Visit Broadway
A famous Cotswold beauty spot, Broadway is nestled at the foot of the rolling Cotswold hills. As its name suggests, Broadway is dominated by a wide tree-lined street packed with independent shops, restaurants, hotels and a couple of excellent museums.
The Lygon Arms Hotel was once a manor house and is something of a Cotswold institution – in its time it has hosted both Charles I and Oliver Cromwell - though not at the same time!
Don’t miss the Gordon Russell Design Museum, which celebrates the work of the renowned 20th century furniture designer, or the Broadway Museum and Art Gallery where you can gain an insight into the history of the village and its cultural heritage. However, no visit to the area is complete without a visit to Broadway Tower, an iconic viewpoint overlooking many counties.
There’s so much to do in and around Broadway that it makes the perfect place to base your Cotswolds break – and it has accommodation to suit all budgets and tastes.
Broadway is also now one end of the Gloucester Warwickshire Steam Railway, a volunteer run steam and diesel heritage railway, offering 29 mile round trips to Cheltenham Racecourse.
