Broadway
Broadway, sometimes known as "The Jewel of the Cotswolds", is a particularly manucured village with boutiques, teas shops, art galleries, restaurants and a shopping mall. The main village street is very wide, or should we say 'broad', as it's lined with fine buildings of cotswold stone. You will find some particularly "honey" coloured cotswold stone in Broadway.Broadway News
