  • Chipping Campden is a famous market town in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This part of Southwest England is one of my favourite places, and Chipping Campden is within the AONB in the county of Gloucestershire. It is an old market town from the 600’s….. and is a fascinating place to visit! Come along as we tour the town, the market hall, the remains of the manor house, the almshouses and the famous wool church!

    I used to go to Chipping Campden as a kid in the late 70s with my grandparents as we camped in their caravan nearby every year - theres a torch light procession every year , maybe sometime in May - well worth a look - I had'nt been there for about 40 years and went there about 3 years ago (2020) , its even better now you can really appreciate it as an adult (except for the part where i walked in to low beam inside one of the shops , i really could have done without that)

    • @MagentaOtterTravels

    Your comment about not wearing 5 inch heels on cobblestones reminded me of the best bit of social media commentary that I saw recently. One of the journalists (Female!) reporting on the visit made by the Duchess of Cambridge to Copenhagen. Kate and Crown Princess Mary walked across a cobblestone square (little square cobbles, not the big flagstones) both were in high heels, the heels were not only high but also they were pencil thin stillettos! Much admiration was exclaimed from the female readers, 'How do they do it?" Do royal women have training sessions like an obstacle course? First test, walk across cobbles in high heels!

Loved the soundtrack, and the two cameo narrations by Ian, including appropriate biblical reference! (I'm now more sure than ever that it's not Ian's camera-shyness that keeps his pieces to camera so few and so short, but his very high appearance fees! 😜) The whole programme was a nostalgic reminder of a Cotswolds cycle tour that included a stop at Chipping Campden.

    Absolutely fabulous, I don’t know why but Campden always seams to play second fiddle to other Cotswold towns and villages , especially Broadway
    You did a great job showing this stunning town at its best but you could have made a 1/2 video because of its history
    Campden house was burned down by the Royalists to stop Cromwell getting hold of their headquarters. As it’s so close to the church Cromwell thought the town had been sacked so did not attack it
    John Fereby helped found Eton Collage and also put money into forming Campden Grammer school , I went with over a 1000 former pupils to the 550 celebration . Hicks , Fereby and Townsend have all be involved with the school and have a house each named after them that the pupils join when going there
    The Campden wonder is a famous tale of a Tax collectors that went missing and then re appeared , unfortunately not soon enough to save the lives of 2 people who where hung for his murder , because of this there was a legal president that you could not be found guilty of murder without a body being found
    Robert Dovers games or the Cotswold Olimpicks ( correct spelling ) the forerunner of the modern day Olympics will have its 410 anniversary this May , with its famous shin kicking plus other games , then follows a torch light procession into the Town square with a fair on the Saturday
    So as you can see no ordinary Cotswold Town , I just love your vids keep them coming

    You may be interested to know the statues of the dogs at the doorways are Talbot hounds. The Talbot was a type of hunting hound common in England during the Middle Ages. It is depicted in art of the period as small to medium-sized, white in colour, with short legs, large powerful feet, a deep chest with a slender waist, long drooping ears, and a very long curled tail.
    Unfotunately the breed is now extinct.

    Those gorgeous homes are a treat for the eyes. They also remind me of the chocolate and biscuit tins often sold in souvenir shops. Oh Dara I have that too, when I walk on cobbled streets of old or the market squares. I can almost hear the carriage and cart wheels, the horses' hoeves and the footsteps. The history so comes alive. Love the yellow stone, bit like in the south of the Netherlands ( Valkenburg) A natural resource much used to build iconic homes. As a child I was always confused about that saying Ian. No longer confused sadly enough. Those stained glass windows are a work of art. What a lovely sharing. Thank you so very much. A real treat on this lovely morning. 💖 🤩 🇳🇱 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇿

    We are planning our first trip to the Cotswolds for a few days next year and staying in Chipping Campden. Still not sure if we will hire a car or not because we are really nervous to drive. I’m wondering do you think there’s enough to visit and see by foot and public transport from there?

      @MagentaOtterTravels  10 месяцев назад

      Yes I understand the hesitancy about driving. I actually don't drive when I am in England! There is a lot to explore in Chipping Campden and nearby areas. There are also local buses you can take. And there are also Cotswold tours that you can go on. So you can skip hiring a car if you prefer.
