Broadway

Beautiful Broadway
By Simon Haughtone

Broadway is a small village in the Worcestershire County, in England. It lies beneath the well known Fish Hill. You will find many descriptions and references to this small, but lovely village, although the most known one is the 'Jewel of Cotswolds', as Broadway is indeed a small gem on the Cotswold escarpment.

Broadway is a very charming little place, even if you decide to visit it during the low - tourist - season. There are numerous activities and attractions in the village and the locals will come with several recommendations and 'do-not-miss' suggestions. First of all, there is the Broadway Tower, which is often referred to as the Beacon Tower or the Fish Inn Tower. This is a structure that ornaments the village since 1790, when it was built by Lady Coventry. It is striking and quite attractive . The Tower used to be the home of William Morris, who is the founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Today, though, it houses a large country theme park, which is one of the major attractions of the Worcestershire County. According to the locals, on a clear day you can see all the major surrounding counties - 14 of them - from the tower. Even if you cannot see all of them, the view is truly astounding.

Among the attractions of Broadway is the Abbot's Grange, a large manor dating from the 14th century. It was the house of the abbots, belonging to the Evesham Abbey. The major hall and the chapel are open to the public, and they all retain their original charm, although they we refurbished and remodelled by the Tudors.

The Broadway village is a rather popular tourist centre - not surprising, since it is a lovely place with friendly residents. There is a large number of inns and bed and breakfasts in the area, open all year long.
