A Visit to Broadway
Our little village of Broadway may not be as famous as the bustling, hectic street in Manhattan, New York, but it still has considerable charm and around 1,500 hikers pass through every year.
Often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Cotswolds’, Broadway village lies beneath Fish Hill on the western Cotswold escarpment, in Worcestershire. The main street through Broadway was an ancient ridgeway and the main road between London and Worcester.
It’s most well known accommodation is the Lygon Arms which has a history going back to the 1300’s, albeit being known as The White Hart back then. As well as having been a coaching inn, situated on the route between Wales and London, it has also hosted Oliver Cromwell, King Charles I and King Edward VII. Even Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton stayed there during the height of their affair in the 60’s.
Another notable building is the Broadway Tower which is set in a 200 acre estate of parkland. To find out more and to book tickets, please click here.
