Chipping Campden High Street
Chipping Campden is among the most wonderful small towns in the Cotswolds, with a beautiful High Street, interesting shops and great eateries, it’s a must when you’re visiting the area.
In the centre you find the iconic Market Hall, now in the care of the National Trust, it was built back in 1627 by Sir Baptist Hicks to provide shelter for traders selling perishable goods, like cheese and butter, or precious goods, like silks. The paving stones have been worn away by hundreds of years of busy trade – and it’s all too easy to imagine the noise and bustle of traders long ago.
Just outside the town is where you find the famous Cotswold Olimpicks once a year, a fun yearly event founded in the 17th century by Captain Robert Dover and still celebrated today.
