Very lovely village right in front of the Cotswolds. Popular both among walkers (Wychavon Way & The Cotswold Way) and cyclists (close to NCN 442 and some uphills to Broadway Tower, which is ~4 miles from Broadway).

The Cotswold Way path is easy to lose at the crest of the hill at the entrance to the Broadway Tower property, as it takes a right angle turn to head toward Broadway along the stone wall and across the fields or, going the opposite direction, toward Chipping Campden down the rocky path.

The market hall was built in 1627 to provide a shelter for traders. In the 1940s it was almost sold to an American, but the local people raised enough money to buy it instead and gave it to the National Trust to preserve. This is the start of the Cotswold Way. A 102 mile (164 km) National Trail from here to Bath.

Go to Broughton-on-the-hill, just behind the Church is a path that joins with Heart of England Way where you can walk to Sezincote House for free. If you want to go in the House and Gardens at close proximity you will need to pay for a ticket and it is usually only open in the week. Check their website for seasonal opening hours.
