Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Broadway: A Village of Middle England The highest point but one of the Cotswolds is Broadway Hill. It therefore ought to be in the county of Gloucester, but owing to the fact, I suppose, of this manor having been granted by King Edgar in 967 to the Abbey of Pershore in the adjacent county of Worcester, it is to this latter county that the parish of Broadway at present belongs. Like a scroll flung over a hillside it lies, in full face of the north-west wind and evening sun. Fine breezy wold on the top, with harebell and wild thyme in the hollows of old camps; pasture, quarry, and woodland on the steep broken slope; and at the foot, some hundreds of feet below, skirts of luxuriant corn-land and orchard running from the grey village out into the vale beyond.
