Broadway (pop. 2,000), at the foot of the Cotswolds, is a good center from which to explore the surrounding area on foot, with the added lure of picturesque old inns and numerous antique shops. With its wide, busy, limestone main street and its many Elizabethan houses, Broadway is one of the most attractive of the Cotswold towns. Among the finest houses are Abbot's Grange, the Tudor House, and the Lygon Arms.
Snowshill Manor is a National Trust property located near Broadway. Costume shows, with pieces from its private collection of 18th and 19th century costumes, are held from time to time.
Its cottage-style garden is set on a steep slope, with walls and hedges creating numerous "rooms." There are also water features and a wide variety of colorful plants.
