AROUND CHIPPING CAMPDEN - THE GUIDE
A jewel in the Cotswolds crown, Chipping Campden is the beating heart of Robert Welch Designs and home to our Studio Shop.
A market town adored by many and known for its grand high street built from the riches of the wool trade, it is one of the Cotswold’s best-preserved high streets centred around the market hall. Amongst the quiet backwaters you'll find beautiful gardens, burgage plots and an ancient orchard.
The high street is full of independent shop-owners, craftsmen, artisan studios and workshops, and we have handpicked some of our favourites to guide you around a visit to our local town. Don’t forget to pop into our Studio Shop to say hi!
TO WALK
With rolling hills reaching near and far, the Cotswold region itself covers an area of around 145 kilometres and spans several counties, so it is no surprise it sees many walkers exploring the area on foot.
The Cotswold Way walk starts in Chipping Campden itself, easily split into sections, or if you are up to it, completing the full 100 miles!
Campden House Estate - The walk around the old estate perimeter, offers a fantastic opportunity to discover its unusual follies, cartwash and almshouses.
