It is no surprise that Chipping Campden is said to be the "Jewel in the Cotswolds" as it is one of the most beautiful, unspoilt towns in the country. Nestled in the valley and surrounded by rolling countryside it makes a truly impressive sight. Whatever the weather, there is always something "special" about our town that makes any visitor feel welcome to stay, and leave longing to return.
It could be the history of the wool town or the scattering of imposing architectural styles built from local golden Cotswold stone that is easily associated with Chipping Campden.
 |
Church of St. James - built in the 15th Century from the wealth created by the wool trade. |
 |
Market Hall - built in 1627 to provide shelter for the women stallholders selling cheese, butter, poultry and vegetables. |
 |
The High Street meandering through the town, with its collection of interesting and unusual shops, where you can buy most items from antiques, fine wines, paintings, souvenirs and beautiful jewellery to the more traditional shops where you will find freshly baked bread, a delicatessen, a butcher, a chemist, post office, florist and a host of useful "local" shops. |
