1Burford
Burford is a charming medieval town often called the "Gateway to the Cotswolds." Nestled along the River Windrush, it’s known for its beautiful sloping High Street lined with honey-colored stone buildings, independent shops, tearooms, and traditional pubs. The town’s historic roots are evident everywhere—from the 15th-century Tolsey building (now a museum) to the grand parish church of St. John the Baptist, which dates back to the 12th century. Burford was once a wealthy wool town, and you can still feel that heritage in its impressive architecture and old coaching inns. Despite its popularity, Burford has kept its peaceful, village-like charm. You’ll find antique shops, art galleries, and cafés perfect for a relaxed afternoon. Whether you're stopping for a cream tea, browsing the local shops, or soaking up the views, Burford is a must-see for anyone exploring the Cotswolds.
