Location

Burford is called the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds' and its famous High Street sweeps downhill towards the river Windrush and the three-arched medieval bridge. Burford is a popular tourist destination, both for its beauty and history, in addition to the variety of shops, restaurants and pubs that line both sides of the High Street.
The larger centres such as Oxford, Cheltenham, and Stratford-Upon-Avon are within driving distance and provide a more extensive range of amenities and facilities.
Burford has good links to major road networks with access to the A40 and M40 connection to London, M5 connection to the southwest and Rail Stations nearby at Charlbury, Kingham and Oxford proving regular service to London Paddington.
There are a number of outstanding state and private schooling options, with schools in Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water and Kingham, along with the Oxford schools and Cheltenham colleges.
Burford Methodist Church fronts Burford High Street (A361) with raised steps to the main front entrance porch and iron railings. Dating back to the 1700's, it was originally built as a grand mansion house in the Baroque style and converted into a chapel in 1849. The interior was redesigned in 1949 by Thomas Rayson of Oxford with inspiration from St Stephen's Wallbrook.
