Broadwell is a small village located in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. Situated about 2 miles south of Stow-on-the-Wold, it lies on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is nestled amidst rolling green hills and offers picturesque views of the surrounding countryside.

Broadwell is home to a tight-knit community, with a population of around 400 residents. The village has a charming mix of traditional Cotswold stone houses, many of which date back several centuries. It exudes a quintessential English village atmosphere, with a peaceful and serene ambiance.

The heart of Broadwell is its 12th-century parish church, St. Paul's, which stands proud at the center of the village. The church is a Grade I listed building and features a stunning Norman doorway and a 13th-century font.
