Cotswolds Villages including Broadway

INCLUDED Visitor Destination

The world famous Cotswolds are the largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, covering nearly 800 square miles over 5 counties. You are sure to fall in love with the honey-coloured stone, quaint villages and lively market towns and rolling hills, the ‘wolds’ themselves.

Often referred to as the 'Jewel of the Cotswolds', beautiful and historic Broadway is a memorable place to visit with its pretty High Street lined with horse chestnut trees and mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries. It is a real pleasure to browse the cute shops and tea rooms. Perhaps pay a visit to the lovely Lygon Arms Hotel and snuggle by the fire with a tasty treat. It is intriguing to think that, during the Civil War, Oliver Cromwell actually spent the night before the Battle of Worcester here, while King Charles Ihad previously used the building to meet and rally his royalist supporters.
