Broadway sits at the very edge of the Worcestershire panhandle, tucked right against the Cotswold escarpment. It takes its name from the wide, central High Street, which was originally part of the main stagecoach route between Worcester and London. Because the local limestone - that distinctive honey-coloured Jurassic stone - is so soft, the village avoided the industrialisation seen elsewhere, leaving the broad, tree-lined verges and 16th-century frontages largely intact. While the high street is the focal point for independent shops and the local deli, the village also serves as a trailhead for the Cotswold Way, with the steep climb up to Broadway Tower offering a clear view across the Vale of Evesham toward the Malvern Hills. It is a practical base for the region, positioned about fifteen miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and even closer to Evesham, though life here tends to move at a considerably slower pace once the weekend visitors have headed home.
