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.
