Broadway is a large village and
civil parish in the
Worcestershire part of the
Cotswolds in England. Its population was 2,540 in the 2011 census, a small increase on the 2,496 in the 2001 census. It is situated in the far southeast of Worcestershire and very close to the
Gloucestershire border, midway between the towns of
Evesham and
Moreton-in-Marsh. Often referred to as the "Jewel of the Cotswolds", Broadway village lies beneath Fish Hill on the western Cotswold
escarpment. The "broad way" is the wide grass-fringed main street, centred on the Green, which is lined with red
chestnut trees and honey-coloured
Cotswold limestone buildings, many dating from the 16th century. It is known for its association with the
Arts and Crafts movement, and is situated in an area of outstanding scenery and conservation. The wide High Street is lined with a wide variety of shops and cafes, many housed in listed buildings.
