While waiting in the airport lounge for our flight to the UK, I received a call from a friend.
"If you're going to the Cotswolds, be sure to visit Broadway."

Broadway? What kind of name is that for a town in the English Countryside? Quaint, charming, picturesque and oh so appealing, the town of Broadway bears no similarity to its namesake in New York City.

The "broad way" actually refers to the street that begins at the foot of the Western Cotswolds escarpment. The street is lined with gingerbread-colored limestone buildings, which date back to the 16th century. Be sure to climb to the top of the hill to visit the Broadway Tower, which once served as a retreat for Arts and Crafts Movement founder William Morris. Today, sheep and deer roam the grounds. The high winds make it a great place for kite flying, but beware; it's easy to get your kite entangled in the tower!
