Welcome to Chipping Campden, one of the most historic and picturesque towns in the Cotswolds! A walk through its stunning High Street is like stepping back in time—every house here is Grade-listed, each with a fascinating story to tell.

But it’s not just the architecture that makes this town special. Chipping Campden’s rich history is shaped by the remarkable individuals who built their grand homes here, leaving behind a legacy that still stands today. Among them was Sir Baptist Hicks, whose once-magnificent mansion was tragically destroyed just 30 years after its construction.

No visit is complete without stopping at the iconic Market Hall, a symbol of the town’s thriving past.

This walk covers a route, which is about 1.1 mile long (1.7 kms), and should take you about an hour’s easy walk to complete.

Parking the car along the High Street is possible, but the best place will be Lower High Street on the southwestern side.
