Broadway | ‘The Jewel of the Cotswolds’

Set beneath the Cotswold escarpment, Broadway is one of the region’s most elegant villages — often called the ‘Jewel of the Cotswolds’. Its wide, tree-lined High Street glows with honey-coloured stone, home to boutique shops, galleries, tearooms and fine restaurants. Once a thriving coaching stop on the old London–Worcester route, Broadway inspired artists and writers from William Morris and J.M. Barrie to John Singer Sargent.

The village’s creative spirit lives on at the Gordon Russell Design Museum and the Broadway Museum & Art Gallery. A short walk or drive brings you to the iconic Broadway Tower & Country Park — an 18th-century folly designed by James Wyatt, inspired by Capability Brown, with sweeping views across the Cotswolds. Broadway also sits on the famous Cotswold Way, making it a favourite stop for walkers and nature lovers.

Relax and enjoy the delights of Broadway

Start your day with village strolling and gallery browsing, then ride the heritage Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway from Broadway through Winchcombe to Cheltenham for a nostalgic view of rolling countryside.

After exploring, unwind in style at the historic Lygon Arms Hotel in the heart of the village, or opt for a peaceful countryside escape nearby at Dumbleton Hall Hotel. With stunning scenery, artistic heritage and warm Cotswold charm, Broadway is the perfect base to slow down and savour the Cotswolds.
