Chipping Campden is a picturesque market town in the Cotswold area of Gloucestershire, England, famed for its honey‑coloured limestone High Street lined with 17th‑century wool merchants' houses. It sits beneath the escarpment at Dover's Hill and lies on the Cotswold Way, making it popular with walkers and visitors to nearby Batsford Arboretum.
Historically a prosperous wool market (the "Chipping" denotes market), the town retains a medieval Market Hall and the Perpendicular tower of St James' Church; in the early 20th century it became a hub for the Arts and Crafts movement under C.R. Ashbee. Today Chipping Campden blends tourism, antiques and craft enterprises with farming and a lively cultural calendar - including the revived Cotswold Olimpicks on Dover's Hill - so it remains both a heritage attraction and an active community.
