Chipping Campden

The next stop on our drive was Chipping Campden, a quaint little village a few miles that looks like something straight out of Walt Disney's imagination.






Fun with hedging.



More elaborate hedging around this thatched roof cottage. People apparently actually do live in places like this.




Close up of thatched roof.


Main drag - High Street. Houses don't have numbers, just names.



They know what got them where they are.



War memorial with poppies - UK national symbol of service.



Old wool market - dating back to the 1600s.



Wool market roof - stone tiles supported by wooden pegs.



Garden courtyard off of High Street.



Pathway to the wool church.



Church tower.



Table in the 14th Century pub where we had lunch. They love fireplaces in these pubs - have them everywhere. Nice and cozy.



Another tiny, low clearance bar in the pub.
