Date: 15th – 18th April 2027
Base Location: Broadway, Worcestershire
Price: £60
Overview: A long weekend of walking and community in the Cotswolds, based in the famous Worcestershire town of Broadway, and including the historic towns of Chipping Camden and Stow-on-the-Wold, and ending with a morning walk to a remote small quintessential Cotswolds village.
Saturday 17th April
Start Time: 10:30am
Meet Point: By the War Memorial, The Green, High Street, Broadway WR12 7AA
Distance: 7.5 miles
Parking: We’ll already be based in the village, of course, but for those with accommodation outside of Broadway there are two public car parks, both about 700 metres, 7 minutes walk, from our meeting point at the War Memorial:
- Milestone Ground Car Park, Childswickham Road, Broadway, WR12 7HA
- Shear House Car Park, Leamington Road Broadway, WR12 7ET
For both of these, 10 hours = £4, and both are open Mon-Sun 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. I recommend parking at the Shear House Car Park on Leamington Road, as the walk from there takes you down the beautiful High Street, so that can be considered the start of your walk to take in the sights.
The Saturday walk will be from the village of Broadway.
Broadway is famous for its attractive main street, the High Street, with its many beautiful buildings constructed in the mellow local stone. The village sits beneath the main ridge of the Cotswold Hills, providing this stunning backdrop.
This walk takes us along the Cotswold Way National Trail as a basis for visiting three villages of Stanton, Laverton and Buckland to the South.
There are a lot of great views on this route and some woodland to enjoy, too.

Afternoon Activities
After the walk, our official tourist activity will be to visit Broadway Tower, a seven minute (4 mile) drive, but this is optional – spend the rest of the day however you wish to.
