Sitting proudly in the
Cotswolds, Broadway and its honey-coloured
buildings feels untroubled by time and apart
from its old-world beauty is noted for
antiques, art and local crafts. The ‘Lygon
Arms’ was one of the first staging posts to
exploit the town’s position on the Worcester
to Oxford road while St Eadburgh’s was the
village church for 700 years until the
Victorians built St Michael’s near the village
green. Overlooking the village is Broadway
Tower, a folly designed for the 6th Earl of
Coventry and one-time home to the influential
designer William Morris. A few miles away are
the lavender fields of Snowshill, Charles
Paget-Wade’s arts and crafts garden and the
National Trust’s Snowshill Manor. |
