Fairford (and surrounding villages)

Fairford is an attractive market town situated on the edge of the Cotswolds in the beautiful Coln Valley.  A Wednesday traders market was revived in 1986 and is still popular today.

Fairford, first mentioned in written records in AD 850, gained its name from the Saxon "Fagrinfordia", which means "fair" (easy to cross) ford.  The ford was an ancient crossing place for the river Coln, before the town bridge was built in the 13th century.

It is located in the eastern section of the Cotswold Water Park, an extensive complex of over 100 lakes created from gravel extraction.  The Water Park offers a wide range of water and land based activities and is also nationally recognised as an important conservation and wildlife study area.
