Broadway is a charming village in Worcestershire, England. It is often called the "Jewel of the Cotswolds" for its picturesque street scenes, with its many honey-coloured Cotswold limestone houses.
Broadway developed as a stagecoach stop on the road between Worcester and London. Human habitation in this area goes back to the Stone Age. Members of the Worcestershire Young Archaeologists Club have uncovered Mesolithic flints as well as domestic waste from the Roman and medieval periods.
Due to its importance as a stopover point on the main street, the village was named after the street. Today the village has a concentration of antique shops. It attracts a steady stream of domestic tourists with its dainty shops, pubs and bed-and-breakfast lodges.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
