Burford – Gateway to the Cotswolds

Often called ‘the gateway to the Cotswolds’, Burford sits on the River Windrush and was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

This medieval market town prospered through trade thanks to its position at key crossroads, later regaining popularity with the arrival of the motor car. Today, Burford is loved for its history, charming High Street, and variety of independent shops and eateries.

Explore antiques at The George, once visited by King Charles and Nell Gwynn, dine at The Bull where Nelson once ate, or step inside England’s oldest pharmacy, Reavley’s, which has served the town since 1734.

Burford - An ideal place to explore the Cotswolds

The 16th-century Tolsey building, once a meeting place for merchants, now houses a fascinating local museum. Nearby, the Grade I listed St. John the Baptist Church attracts thousands each year and hosts Levellers’ Day every May, celebrating Burford’s Civil War history.

Just beyond the town, enjoy a day out at the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens — 160 acres of parkland around a Victorian manor where dogs are welcome — or visit the peaceful Bibury Trout Farm.

Stay locally at welcoming spots such as The Bay Tree Hotel, Burford Lodge Hotel, and the Inn For All Seasons — perfect bases for exploring Burford and the wider Cotswolds countryside.
