Nestling along the slope of the hill down through the trees to the
River Windrush, Burford is steeped in history and rich in architectural
heritage. Burford is full of Cotswold stone houses with hidden secrets
that can be glimpsed through narrow alleyways and courtyards. One
of the oldest buildings in Burford is a magnificent church of almost
cathedral-like proportions. It was built from around 1175. The town is
also a renowned centre for the antiques trade.

The route winds its way through many small Cotswold villages
including Eastleach Turville, Coln St Aldwyns before reaching Bibury.
William Morris called Bibury ‘the most beautiful village in England’ and
it remains very picturesque today in its riverside setting. The village
contains several buildings connected to the wool industry that date
back to the 14th century as well as water meadows and trout fisheries
that stretch along the Coln river valley.
Cirencester is a must see thriving market town at the heart of The
Cotswolds with ancient Roman origins. The Corinium museum
showcases the finest Roman collection so leave the 21st Century
behind and discover the treasures and history of The Cotswolds.
Cirencester mixes old with new having a vibrant arts centre with
workshops, Britain’s oldest open air swimming pool and beautiful
abbey grounds. The amazing selection of independent shops and
restaurants sit alongside the ‘woolgothic’ church, which dominates
the marketplace.
