Chipping CampdenGloucestershire

The High Street (the most perfect medieval wool market street in England), the Market Hall (1627), the Court Barn Museum, the Cotswold Olympics (the real original), and a Cotswold town of incomparable architectural beauty

Chipping Campden grew wealthy from the medieval wool trade — the magnificent High Street of 14th-17th century houses reflects that prosperity perfectly. The Market Hall, built in 1627, still stands in the middle of the street. The Cotswold Olimpick Games, revived in 1612 by Robert Dover, still take place on Dover's Hill every spring.

The High Street is genuinely England's finest medieval commercial street — arrive early morning before the coaches for the full effect. Dover's Hill for the Olimpick Games and the views. The Court Barn Museum for the Arts and Crafts heritage.
