Broadwell is a small village tucked into the rolling limestone hills of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Gloucestershire, England. It has the characteristic honey‑coloured stone cottages, narrow lanes and dry‑stone walls of the region and sits in a landscape prized for its walking routes, hedgerows and patchwork fields.
Historically a farming community, Broadwell now combines agricultural roots with a local economy supported by tourism and people commuting to larger towns. The village retains a strong social feel - centred on church, pub and village‑hall activities - and quietly attracts walkers and visitors looking for the classic Cotswold village experience rather than busy tourist hubs.
