Dover’s Hill

Starting in the charming town of Chipping Campden, you see historical sites and get a beautiful view of the Cotswolds from the top of Dovers Hill.

Points of Interest:

  • The Market Hall - Built in 1627 by the town's wealthy benefactor, Sir Baptist Hicks, this landmark of the town was built to provide shelter for traders. Back then townsfolk would trade goods like cheese, butter and poultry. In the 1940s it was almost sold to an American, but local people heroically raised the money to buy it first. They gave it to the National Trust so that people young and old can continue to cherish this delightful building.

  • Dovers Hill - stands at 230m above sea level. The lower slopes of the hill indicate past Roman activity and are now wooded with native trees such as Sweet Chestnut and Larch. The expansive views from the hill enhance the sense of space and feeling of extensive rolling countryside.
