Burford High Street

Steep Cotswold stone street lined with old inns, shops, and views down to the Windrush.

Burford High Street is the town's main sight as much as its main road. The slope is lined with Cotswold stone houses, shopfronts, pubs, and coaching-inn facades, with the countryside visible at the edges.

It is easy to rush and miss the details. Look up at the rooflines, old signs, and side alleys, then walk downhill toward the bridge and churchyard rather than treating the street as a shopping strip.
