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.

Bibury is a picturesque village in Gloucestershire, England, often described as one of the most beautiful villages in the Cotswolds — and indeed, in all of England. It sits along the River Coln, a gentle tributary of the Thames, and is known for its timeless charm, honey-colored stone cottages, and idyllic rural scenery.

Bourton-on-the-Water, often called the “Venice of the Cotswolds,” is a charming English village in Gloucestershire. It is famous for the clear River Windrush, which gently flows through the centre, crossed by a series of low, stone footbridges that give the village its picture-perfect character. Honey-coloured limestone cottages line the streets, creating a classic Cotswold look.
The village is both peaceful and lively, with riverside greens that fill with visitors enjoying picnics in summer. It is home to unique attractions such as the Model Village, a detailed miniature replica of Bourton itself. The Cotswold Motoring Museum, with its collection of vintage cars and memorabilia, adds to the appeal.
Bourton-on-the-Water is a favourite stop on Cotswold tours, blending natural beauty with quaint shops, tearooms, and traditional pubs. The village retains a timeless charm that makes it one of the most photographed and beloved destinations in the Cotswolds.
