Home : Local Walks : - Bumbling in Burford
The beautiful town of Burford on the river Windrush was the site of a fortified ford in Anglo-Saxon times. The town grew to be an important crossroads and very wealthy wool town with a magnificent 15th century parish church. Christopher will do his usual bumbling around this town which has been twinned with the Italian town Potenza Picena since 2001.
