Chipping Campden – North Cotswolds Delight
Chipping Campden is one of the Cotswolds’ most picturesque towns, once a bustling centre of the medieval wool trade built on the prized Cotswold Lion fleece. Merchant William Greville left his mark here, and his grand Greville House still stands proudly on the High Street.
The 1627 Market Hall, built by Sir Baptist Hicks and cared for by the National Trust, remains one of the region’s most photographed landmarks. Discover the town’s creative spirit at the Court Barn Museum and admire St James’ Church with its soaring tower and centuries-old craftsmanship.
Stroll the honey-stone High Street lined with independent shops, cosy cafés and inviting inns, and enjoy the lively charm that makes this town so special. Each year, locals and visitors come together for the wonderfully eccentric Cotswold Olimpicks – complete with shin-kicking and old-fashioned fun dating back to 1612!
