The basics

Explore Burford as part of a tour of the Cotswolds and Oxford from London, which save you the hassle of car hire by transporting you between dispersed attractions. Tours typically combine Burford with Oxford highlights such as the university, Christchurch Cathedral, and the Bridge of Sighs, and give you free time to explore Cotswolds villages such as Bampton and Bilbury. During free time in Burford, browse traditional shops for British antiques and enjoy English fayre in a local pub.
