Burford
in the Oxford Cotswolds
Welcome to the Burford
web site which contains details on Burford accommodation (Burford hotel
and bed and breakfast information), attractions in the Burford area and
other information on this Cotswold town.
 Burford is
an extremely popular town in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds that has
hardly changed since Georgian times, when it was an important coach
stop between Oxford and the West Country. It's magnificent High
Street, one of the finest in the Cotswolds, slopes down to a bridge
crossing the River Windrush. The High Street is overlooked by mellow
golden Cotswold stone buildings including many 17th and 18th century
houses.
Tolsey Hall
is a Tudor house with an open ground floor. The house is located
on the corner of Sheep Street, itself a reminder of the importance
of the wool trade in the area. Burford has a large car park just off the main High Street, and roadside parking in High Street itself.
You will find a selection of shops, mostly small independent retailers, but there is a scattering of better known outlets such a Budgens (mini supermarket). Costa Coffee also opened an outlet in early 2008.
Barclays Bank can be found on the High Street as can The Oxford Shirt Company and the excellent Burford News newsagent whos range of magazines would put many larger newsagents to shame!

The parish
church of St John is tucked away down one of the small side streets
that radiate off the High Street. Originally Norman, but remodelled
in the fifteenth century, the Church is well worth a visit.
Inside the church
you will find a Renaissance monument to Edmund Harman, barber and
surgeon to Henry VIII. It is decorated with Red Indians. The four
Amazonian Indians are said to be the first representation of the
Native Americans in Britain. |
