Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh, Cotswolds, UK

NOTE: This video was filmed before the second and third UK lockdowns. As you have seen in my previous videos, there’s no doubt that the Cotswolds deserves its designation as an area of outstanding natural beauty. In this video, are the last two places I have visited. Chipping Campden is a small market town in Gloucestershire and it is one of the most visited towns in the Cotswolds. Like other villages in the Cotswolds, this market town was a rich wool trading center in the Middle Ages and benefited from local rich wool merchants. Moreton-in-Marsh is small market town situated on the Fosse Way. It has a long and wide High Street to accommodate trades and markets during the middle age and lies on common land bordering the Fosse Way, to the northwest of the original Saxon settlement. It grew up until the thirteenth century as a market town and there is still a busy Tuesday market with about 200 stalls attracting residents and visitors. The town has welcomed travellers for at least 1700 years and was used as a coaching station until the arrival of the Oxford to Worcester railway in 1853. There are several pubs, inns, hotels, tea shops, restaurants and holiday cottages. I hope that this series of videos showcased that the Cotswolds is indeed an area of outstanding natural beauty with lots of picturesque and historic towns. The area is well-worth visiting when in England. #ChippingCampden #MoretonInMarsh #GetawaysWithNoel
