An Afternoon in Broadway (Evesham/Worcestershire)

October 2nd, 2008 by ShaolinTiger at 9:20 AM MYT - 453 views

So after the lovely carvery lunch we headed off to the quaint village of Broadway for a wonder round - one of the favourite stops for coach tours and you can always see hoards of yanks and europeans wondering up and down the main street (depending on the season). It's one of the more famous villages in the Cotswolds (which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

When we arrived the weather was pretty nice, blue skies and fluffy white clouds lining the famous wide main street.

The place was fairly busy, mostly with Europeans at that time of year and I guess a few septic tanks thrown in for good measure

Broadway has many tiny boutique hotels like this - Broadway Hotel.

There are also many old fashioned Thatched cottages.

We had some fresh ice cream served by a mother and daughter on the street and then headed back the car.

It was a nice afternoon and a nice walk, after that it was off to the city again (Birmingham) for dinner at my aunts house.

I like the boutique hotel - Broadway. How much would a place like this cost? Love the cottage style accommodations.

Hmm...that wire thing, it doesn't look like barbed wire but more like razor wire, but thicker.

Great photos, ST, especially the last one. I like moments captured like these.

Huai Bin: You can find the prices here for that hotel. Yah it's actually pretty thick, it's just to stop people sitting on the wall and for a bit of decoration - Thanks!

triSh: Just use stopped down aperture, at least f/22 should do it and underexpose. Didn't use any filters. I'm using Nikon D200.
