Broadway Hill, located in Worcestershire, England, is a prominent hill that offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Situated in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this hill is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers.

Rising to an elevation of approximately 312 meters (1,024 feet), Broadway Hill is a notable landmark in the region. Its distinctive shape and lush green slopes provide a picturesque backdrop for the nearby village of Broadway. The hill is characterized by rolling grasslands, patches of woodland, and a variety of wildflowers, creating a vibrant and diverse ecosystem.

The summit of Broadway Hill is adorned with a trig point, which serves as a marker for surveying purposes. From here, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views that span across the Worcestershire countryside, encompassing the Malvern Hills to the west, the Vale of Evesham to the east, and even reaching as far as the Black Mountains in Wales on a clear day.

Broadway Hill is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, and picnicking. It is traversed by well-maintained footpaths that allow visitors to explore the area and take in the natural beauty at their own pace. The hill is also part of the Cotswold Way, a long-distance walking trail that stretches across the Cotswolds.

With its scenic beauty and panoramic vistas, Broadway Hill offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether one seeks a leisurely stroll or a challenging hike, this hill is a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Worcestershire countryside.

Turning area at the eastern end of High Street, Broadway

Broadway's High Street east of Leamington Road is a dead end street for motor vehicles. Several tourist coaches passed me today as I was approaching this turning area. For them, using this area was the easiest way to turn around on High Street.

Double white lines on a dead-end road east of High Street, Broadway

In 2016, this road ends about 300 metres ahead, near the A44 Fish Hill. Old maps show that this used to be a through road, before the construction of the current route of the A44. This road appears to be where a few visitors to Broadway choose to park a car for free, to avoid using the pay and display car parks in the village, though this location is nearly a kilometre from the village centre.
