Broadway Village - Miles without Stiles

The walk starts opposite the Horse & Hound public house which can be found on the High Street, 100 metres west of the sharp left turn for Leamington Road. There is a narrow passage signposted Activity Park and Picnic Area.

Follow this passage for 30 metres until it opens into the village activity park. Follow the main path between two fences 15 metres apart, to the gate in the bottom right hand corner of the recreation ground.

Go through this gate and bear slightly right to the gates and footbridge at the tree-covered stream.

After crossing the bridge and a second gate continue with the fence line on your right to the gate in the next field boundary. Go through this gate into an open field and bear very slightly left towards a gate in the hedge. 1

Crossing here, keep the fence on your left and follow the fence around the field until you reach a gate into Snowshill Road opposite Mill Hay House. 2

Turn left along Snowshill Road for 300 metres to reach St Eadburgha’s Church. 3 The church is generally open to visitors throughout the year and has examples of early English, Norman and Gothic architecture.

To return to Broadway, turn left from the church gate to retrace your steps along Snowshill Road. Be careful of traffic along the road; you will pass The Court on the left, with its intricate carvings above the front door, then a mill pond before Mill Hay House. Further on, there are thatched and stone cottages.

On the approach to the village, the church of St Michael’s is on the right, as is the Crown & Trumpet public house. Abbots Grange is on the left, opposite the turning for the village green.

4 Turn right alongside the village green and follow the High Street back to the start.
