One of England's prettiest yet small medieval towns, Burford is a busy community of about 1,000 people. Over 900 years ago, town merchants in Burford were granted a charter to hold their own markets. Now, Burford’s business people maintain the tradition of good service and supply of luxury and necessary goods to residents and visitors of Burford.

Situated along the slope of the hill down through the trees to the River Windrush, Burford is full of history and rich in architectural heritage.
