Burford

Burford, in the County of Oxfordshire is the western-most town of Oxfordshire.

A small market town on a steep hill, its status as a 'gateway' to the Cotswolds brings large numbers of tourists in the summer months. Its prosperity through the wool trade have led to what is undoubtedly one of the finest churches in the country, St John the Baptist, given a rare five stars in Simon Jenkins' 'Thousand Best Churches'. Also of note is the Hufkins tea rooms and bakery.
