Eighteen miles west of Oxford and just north of the A40 Cheltenham road, Burford lies on the River Windrush. It is a beautiful Cotswold-town hardly changed since Georgian times when Burford was an important coaching post. Houses in the town centre date from the 15th century such as Tolsey Hall, a Tudor house with an open ground floor that is located on the corner of Sheep Street. It is where wool traders used to meet to do deals and pay their tolls.
