Tourists flock to Broadway to enjoy the village’s broad way of red chestnut-lined greens and its smart shops, restaurants and pubs - traditions of hospitality linking to the days of horse-drawn carriages when this was an important staging post. Among the fine buildings which line the street is the Lygon Arms Hotel, a Renaissance building restored early in the 20th century. The Cotswold escarpment is in the background, with Broadway Tower dominating. In clear conditions you can see into twelve counties from the top of the tower. Fifty five feet high, the tower is a folly built by the 6th Earl of Coventry in the 18th century. It houses exhibitions which illustrate its history.
