Broadway is one of the most beautiful villages in England situated at the Gateway to the Cotswolds, England's largest designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its wide High Street lined with horse chestnut trees contains a mixture of period houses and picturesque honey coloured Cotswold stone cottages which have lured visitors for centuries.

The Tower's Colourful Past

Built on an ancient beacon site, Broadway Tower has a colourful history as - amongst others - home to the renowned printing press of Sir Thomas Phillips, country retreat for Pre-Raphaelite artists, notably the artist, designer, writer, craftsman, and socialist William Morris, location for the studies of the distinguished archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans, and farmhouse.

Today the Tower houses exhibitions connected with its past and the surrounding area. There is a fully illustrated guidebook to Broadway Tower Country Park available (containing a view - indicator for use from the top of the Tower).
