Broadway to Moreton-In-Marsh
Broadway is named after the main street, which is very wide and lined with horse chestnut trees. At the heart of the village is the 'Lygon Arms' - an old inn where stage coaches once stopped to refresh their horses. Today visitors stop to browse the art galleries & refresh themselves in the local tea rooms. ...

High above the village, at the top of 'Fish Hill', Broadway Tower can be seen. The Tower is a 'folly' and was built in 1797 on the site of an ancient beacon. There is no longer any access up the hill from the village, so you will need to turn your car around and follow the signs out of the village towards 'Snowshill'.

Chipping Campden was a bustling wool town during the Middle Ages. The word 'Chipping' means 'Market'. Many of the cottages here have either thatched or stone-tiled rooves. Look out for the different styles of window - including: Oriel, Dormer & Mullioned. |
As you pass the church you will see the Alms houses. Opposite these can be seen the old cart-wheel wash. Continue your journey along the high street, past the 14th Centuary Woolstaplers Hall and Gavel House, towards Moreton-In-Marsh.

Opposite the arboretum is the Mogul-style house called Sezincote, which inspired the Prince Regent to build Brighton Pavillion in 1815. From Sezincote, continue your journey towards Moreton-In-Marsh |
