Stroll along the High Street lined with impressive 17th and 18th
Century architecture, taking time to call in at hidden alleyways
and secluded courtyards. Discover alluring shops and galleries
showcasing antiques, art, gifts, stylish clothing and other luxury
goods. Pick up tempting produce at the local deli ready for lazy
suppers in your Burford cottage. Or treat yourself
to a meal at one of the many ancient hostelries or restaurants -

Be sure to visit St. John the Baptist Church, rated one of the
country's finest with almost cathedral-like proportions and
featuring a treasure trove of beautiful artefacts. Do also call in
at the Tolsey Museum, a pay-point for collecting tolls during Tudor
times and today displaying an assortment of rare exhibits from the
town's intriguing past.
Stretch those legs and enjoy a walk into the glorious
countryside from your Burford cottage. This is also a wonderful
region to explore by bike and you can choose from a number of
circular routes.
