Burford

Burford sits on the banks of the River Windrush in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, within the district of West Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England. Its honey‑coloured limestone High Street, clipped by traditional inns and independent shops, slopes down to an old stone bridge and gives the town a distinctly medieval feel - visitors often describe it as the “gateway” to the Cotswolds.

The town has a long market‑town history reflected in historic buildings such as The Tolsey and the parish church of St John the Baptist, and today its economy leans heavily on tourism, antiques, galleries and local food businesses alongside surrounding agriculture. Community life remains lively with seasonal markets, tearooms and pubs, making it both a popular stop for visitors and a close‑knit place to live.
