UK Uncovered: Fairford, The Cotswolds

Historical Highlights

Fairford's history dates back to its first charter in 1135, and it has retained much of its historical charm. The town's most famous landmark is St. Mary's Church, renowned for its exceptional collection of 28 mediaeval stained glass windows. These windows, dating back to the 15th century, are considered one of the finest sets of stained glass in the country. The church is a magnificent example of a "wool church," built with funds from the prosperous mediaeval wool trade.

Natural Beauty and Outdoor Activities

The River Coln meanders through Fairford, providing a serene backdrop for leisurely walks and picnics. One popular route takes you along the river, through the town's historic centre, and into the surrounding countryside. This walk is perfect for soaking in the area's natural beauty and spotting local wildlife.

For those who enjoy more structured outdoor activities, the nearby Cotswold Water Park offers a range of water sports and nature trails. Whether you're interested in kayaking, paddleboarding, or birdwatching, there's something for everyone in this expansive park.

Cultural Events and Community

Fairford is home to several annual events that draw visitors from near and far. The Royal International Air Tattoo, held at RAF Fairford every July, is the world's largest military airshow. This spectacular event features aerial displays from military aircraft from around the globe and is a must-see for aviation enthusiasts.

Throughout the year, Fairford hosts a variety of community events, including traditional markets and local festivals. The Fairford Market, held every Wednesday, is a bustling affair where you can find local produce, artisanal goods, and handmade crafts. It's an excellent opportunity to experience the local culture and support small businesses.
