Broadway Village

Highlight • Settlement

As the name suggests, the picturesque village of Broadway is dominated by a wide main street lined with independent shops, restaurants, hotels and antique dealers. The Cotswold scarp runs down through the valley into the Evesham Vale. As such, it makes a great base for exploring the Cotswolds.

St. Eadburgha's Church

Highlight • Historical Site

Our walk to Broadway Tower started and ended at St Eadburgha's church on Snowshill Road. On it we met on old chap looking for a memorial to the American artist and former resident of Broadway, Francis Davis Millet. He was looking in the wrong place! Just 300 metres further up Snowshill Road a lychgate to the lower cemetery is the memorial and probably worth the visit ... for further details visit tinyurl.com/mpywhm2k.

Cotswold Lavender Fields

Highlight • Natural

There are multiple ways to approach this spot. Maybe the funnest is up from Broadway on the climb to Snowshill which is about 8% for a couple of kms. A second good approach is from Chipping Campden - a long a fairly steady/easy climb with a couple of steeper spots. Also close by is Broadway Tower, which has a good café for tea and cake...
