After appeciating its beauty and history proceed to tour the many Cotswold villages and towns or put on your walking boots and get into the hills.
Broadway was founded at the foot of Fish Hill, which was a principal stage coach "station". This rough, bumpy, muddy and slow mode of travel declined in popularity with the advent of the railways. With the lessening of the traffic came solitidue and peace and an alternative reason for people to visit this spot in the countryside. It became home to the Arts and Crafts movement after many artists and writers settled here. William Morris occupied the Broadway Tower, a folly built in the late 18th century by Lady Coventry. You can get a view of 15 counties from atop the tower on a clear day. Some well-known paintings by famous artists originated here including by John Singer Sargent. Visit the Gordon Russell museum situated behind Budgens.
