The 8 most expensive towns in The Cotswolds, UK 

Went to college in Cirencester and spent a lot of time around people who live in the places mentioned on the list. One lad mentioned his father owning 5 BMWs and impromptu weekend trips to Venice like they were the most normal things in the world.

'i doubt they've ever had to go two's on a cigarette' absolutely killed me. Love your humour!

Instead of 'Posh' Towns,,,,,you could have called it 'Polished Turd Towns' ;)

"Like the new King himself, I'm all ears" Lines like this are what make this one of the most watchable channels on YT! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

The house in your thumbnail used to be owned by my grandparents - I was very lucky to have spent childhood Christmases in such a gorgeous setting. They bought it before the M4 was constructed & back then the Cotswolds was mud & farmers rather than Farrow & Ball.

I left Burford school in 1975; went away to university; and didn't visit for some years. The biggest change, which ruined it for me, is the amount of traffic. It's gone from moderately busy to horrendous!

Good one 'squire. A complete flip on your norm, yet retained your sarcasm, satire and humour. With facts and reality included, for free. This pointless human approves, for what it is worth. Thank you.

You mentioned Broadway. 30 years ago the high street had shops that regular people might use such as banks,butchers,bakeries and a post office .Now it is full of chi-chi boutiquey, art galleries and places selling rich, country ,lifestyle stuff.

Big up, my man, the richest resident in Blockley, barrelling through on his tractor. Safe in the knowledge he owns all of the 347 surrounding acres.👍

“Trained to swoop and attack poor people as they enter” fucking gold 😂😂

Absolutely brilliant ! your shows just get better and better,I live in a small Cotswold town called Nailsworth and work in Cirencester as a delivery driver, so all these towns are familiar to me. Keep up the good work and the banter.😊

"even the local gym is called James" took a detour around the village before getting to me but man that was a good one LOL

An excellent summation from someone who has lived in the Cotswolds for 37 years. The house prices are skewed by the ex council houses and new build estates which, yes, even the Cotswolds has. That's the only reason Burford is number one.

Blockley? Unspoiled? That cafe and shop used to be a Cotswold stone toilet block. All around, one can see where people cashed in and put mini housing estates on their front gardens! And... oh, BOY, you should've been there in the 60s and 70s! 4 pubs. 2 banks open full time. A post office/general store plus two other large convenience stores. 2 butchers, a hardware store, toy/sweet shop with newsagent and a chemist... a couple of cobblers, 2 independent greengrocers and a couple of bakeries. Furthermore, two hairdressers and a barber! The place was alive! These days, it's a fossilised themepark filled with god knows who doing who knows what but only at the weekends. Such a lack of facilities that on that score, it's qualify as a TurdTown.

Burford is the town Clarkson visited in an old top gear episode where he tested the F150 pickup truck. Because the towns close to his house.

Loving these towns, yellow brick always did look nice 👍

Went to every single one of these places as a kid.....when going to places by car on a Sunday was special (in the 70's- early 80's)

Nice, thanks for dropping it. Must be nice to go somewhere in summer where the houses are worth £4m.

Great work man it’s nice to see the other end of the spectrum. Especially because most of the places people would purposefully visit are these types of beautiful towns and villages which abound South West and South East England

A jolly good show, old chum!

“Gym called James!” Proper funny!

I only came across this channel the other day but what a gem! Your quirky comments fit perfectly and has me in stitches. We’ll done on a great channel 👍

Man, I love those places. My heart's desire.

It's a great place to bring up kids: safe and good schools. btw did you notice all the London car reg plates? They've been flooding down here since everyone started working from home. Another reason why house prices have rocketed.

Bourton on the Water is the crack den of the Cotswolds don't you know!!

Loving the video's ❤ you really make us laugh. Thank you!

Excellent and humorous as always! Looking to visit Worcester in a few months. May get out and visit a few of these spots. 🙂

These are excellent...... more please.....!!

Classic affluent English market towns. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of rolling fields which always seem to have FA in them. (The odd cow perhaps)

Really informative,brilliant.

Loved this video and your so finny 😂. Just subscribed thanks

Your narration is actually funny and very witty 👏🏻 most channels are cringe hah. Also I love Stow because the coffee shops there are awesome

I love the sense of humor !

A wild Slapnuts appears ❤ Good to see you branching out and enjoying all the content.

Hilarious commentary in this episode, i needed a good laugh thank you, where i live is a small hamlet in Cornwall and seeing this busy towns , makes me happy to be here. Don't care how posh the houses are, they are welcome to there polished turd towns.

Well done, nice list! I agree with your rankings. BTW - I live in one of these towns... Tetbury.

Burford is only making the top of the list in terms of average price is because of London influence. Broadway for me anytime😅

Asking for the William and going to the local James threw me 🤣🤣🤣

You, my friend, are an absolute legend with your one liners and quips! Keep up the good work, don't ever let Turdtowns die. If you ever do Poshtowns in Devon, I could probably give you number 1 already...

Live on the Gloucestershire/Warwick shire border so know all these towns except Tetbury very well as most are in the North Cotswolds. Few observations Stow-On-The-Wold - has huge traffic issues and is an absolute nightmare to drive through as it has major roads criss crossing through it. Locals use back roads to avoid this, would never live there. Moreton-In-Marsh - is actually a lovely place and more attractive than the video portrays. The market on Tuesdays is NOT worth a visit and is NOT large at all. Blockley - is a strange place. A village of second homes mainly it lacks any community atmosphere whenever I’ve visited and leaves me cold, Ilmington a Cotswold village in Warwickshire is far prettier and charming. Chipping Campden - Stunning town, my friend lives on the high street and The Volunteer Curry House there does delicious Indian food and the staff are great. Broadway should not be an honourable mention but should be on your list!! It’s beautiful especially the top half of the high street, it’s much nicer than Burford, which although has a lovely high street is constantly jammed up with traffic. Bourton On The Water - Sorry just too many tourists make it a place I could never live.

What an eye opener. What's become apparent in the last few years during the cost of living crisis, is there is an opposite end to the scale and there seems to be an abundance of extremely wealthy people about. How do so many people make such vast amounts of money. My opinion is that if someone is making millions, then they are over charging for their service and ripping people off.

Bourton on the water smells a bit better than venice

I drove through nearly all of these towns on my way to Glastonbury festival (Shepton Mallet is a turd) last month to avoid the M5. I've actually been to all the places mentioned as a "tourist". A couple of towns you didn't mention were Shipston on Stour & Winchcombe, they seemed pretty posh when I visited.

As a local, I can tell you that these house prices have all happened within the last decade or so, its depressing as it means I have no way to stay close to my home if I want my own house.

I grew up in a village next to Broadway and went to school in Chipping Campden. In the late 90’s/early 2000’s Moreton in Marsh was considered the rough town in the area 🤣 Also, Stow on the Wold was Edgar Wright’s first choice to film Hot Fuzz but they council declined because they didn’t want the final shoot out scene to be filmed in the town square

I cannot wait till I get home just to watch this! 😆

That situation in Burford with the parking reminds me of Stockbridge in Hampshire... remember to do a posh towns for Hants, there's definitely enough content for both posh and turd...

We always have one of the Oxfordshire cross country races at Cirencester and, needless to say, it’s beautiful

This exercise was great fun and brought back memories of my own childhood in the not unposh part of the Cotwolds. I compiled a list first as best guess; then checked against yours. This is what I thought. Hon mention Broadway 1. Chipping Campden, 2. Burford; 3. Winchcombe; 4. Tetbury; 5. Fairford; 6. Nailsworth; 7. Wotton under Edge; 8. Lechlade. A few comments. I once knew somebody who rented a flat in Burford. It was tiny. Most of the houses are too small for habitation. You have to be a slow moving traffic lover to live in these places! The crime rate in Blockley looks to be high

I love Burford. Only been here once, but it’s got about 6 or 8 pubs. A curry house and decent shops. Plus it’s pretty as fuck. Each to their own I guess 😅

Very good episode! Shame Banbury didn't quite make it (it does skirt the Cotswolds)..

I don't remember how i found your youtube channel but i love watching this stuff, i've watched nearly all your videos now, bro it's just what i needed and actual real human behing a camera.

I live in Bulgaria and you could buy pretty much the whole village for the average cost of one house in Burford.

I’ve visited the Cotswolds many times. There’s some lovely places and the people might not be that welcoming in some of the locations but the scenery is great!

I really enjoy these PoshTowns segments. I'm not from the UK. Growing up I used to think all of it looked like these places.

Came for the Regional inequality, stayed for the overly inflated house prices. 😅

Beautiful, tiny houses which you can actually live in if you happen to be dwarf-sized.

If you want to eat in Stow there is a lovely small cafe called The Old Bakery. Highly recommend the homemade cream tea and their exceptional rich hot chocolate made with chocolate and cream! Always a favourite to swing by when in the area 😁

The Bird Centre at Moreton in Marsh is excellent should anyone be passing by !

Glad to see you calling out the car parks that often blight the centre of beautiful market towns. Surely people can park on the edge and walk for five minutes instead.

Excellent script this episode.

I live in Painswick (although a I do rent a tiny little flat) but I’m surprised Painswick didn’t get a mention. It’s always rammed with tourists and impossible to find a place to park. Despite this, it is a very attractive area tow with over 1500 residents and loads of expensive gaffs.

First half of my honeymoon was in Burford. Second half was in Wapping. Both very nice. 😀

Im in the south of the cotswolds and i can confirm most of the houses in the village high street are owned by people from London now.Anyone born or brought up here has to live in an ex council estate or an ex MOD house.

You should request people make a pot of tea and cucumber sandwiches (no crusts) before watching this episode. Never heard of some of these towns and probably will never go there either. Interesting though.

I love your vids

I grew up in Cirencester, the worst thing about it was the RAG students. Spending daddy's money and driving around in old land rovers with RAG stickers on the back. Generally be rude and obnoxious.

Please review salisbury - could be in this collection. Scratch the surface and ...

Just spent a few days in the Cotswolds. Love it there. However the week before we were in Wales. You have to visit Port Talbot, utter toilet. Or Barmouth the dullest seaside town, even worse than Weston Super Meh. Oh and the Gypsys Horse people in Stow, I did not get the impression from locals that anybody welcomes them, all the pubs and shops put up shutters and flee.

Very well written, I really enjoyed some of the dry satire and take it the maker isn't a Tory fan, lol.

Nine out of ten of these places are in Gloucestershire although you always get other counties mentioned. A beautiful area.

Please do TurdTowns in Cheshire.

I think I would have put Chipping Campden above Burford. Oxfordshire is more expensive than Gloucestershire because it's closer to London.

Too many carrot crunchers!😂

Ayy? Chippenham is classed as Cotswolds - news to me, was born there, and have spent collectively 10 plus years there. Damn, all that time and I could have used "I live in the Cotswolds as a chat up line"

I spend a fair bit of time out Tetbury, beautiful gaff where my parents retired too👌🏻Decent shout out for the Gumstool Hill as well, that is one steep fucker! Class episode and quite a turn up from the case study on Welsh valley shitholes😂🤦🏻

im from witney which is literally just outside the cotswolds (oxfordshire) and I love the cotswolds unfortunately I dont tlive there anymore

These places always remind me of the lyrics of Pink Floyd's Dogs.

Ahhh The Cotswolds. Where a children's home in the center of the lakes was closed due to ill treated and abused children. The security guard told me they found hidden letters that were intended for their parents back home documenting the abuse they suffered but obviously those letters were stashed away. Action for children and The Bruderhorf community were the ones that ran it most time. Just to let you know 😊

Mummy buy tetbury for me ive been awful good at St John's Wood's American School of London

The Cotswolds are a prime example of what happens when you don't ruin the landscape with poor housing quality housing, introduce incompatible cultures and value it's historic British heritage. Nice things can exist if you're willing to look after them.

Everyone likes the smell of their own brewed fart! XD Keep up the good content, hope you dont loose any more drones!

07:35 "Money-N-Pocket" WTF🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just a wee-bit down the road from "Money-N-Bank".

Funny stuff indeed! So glad my Cotswolds town didn't make the mix, good old Chippy (Chipping Norton) - yep, that famed town of "The Chipping Norton Set", except nobody rich actually lives _in_ the town, they all live in the countryside around it. A little Labour town in a sea of Tory blue, down to earth, a little bit grubby around the edges, but as real as it gets. Still a working town ... just about. Sadly, time is taking its toll on the town - it's becoming more gentrified, slowly but surely. Still not posh - god help us if it does become that - but it looks like it may go that way. Once the cheapest of towns in the Cotswolds to buy a house, right on the very edge - but lots of development is starting to ruin it. Such is life.

The majority of the cotswolds is expensive. Before watching this, in the list will be bourton on the water, stow on the wold, chipping Camden, Broadway, Cirencester, Malmesbury to name but a few!

Have you covered plymouth? I went recently, never been, and thought as it appears to be a major landmark was shocked to be greeted with derelict buildings that once said "employment agency", then few chain shops in between empty "to let" shop spaces. whole place looks and feels unaccommodating and couldnt be there more than 1 hour before I have to leave, a true dump!

If you research your birth town, you'll find most places in the UK looked like this. Most these towns aren't even that old - sure some buildings may be original - yet many buildings will be recreations of architectural eras. Posh = old money/established families.

i want trurdtowns back they are hilarious

T, can you please do a feature on North Wales ? Places like Rhyl, Llandudno, Flint, Pwllheli, Caernarfon .... these places are dog rough.

Would be interesting to see a video on the Turd towns of Surrey, stereotypically being a posher county

I can’t believe Tetbury made this list and I can’t believe Burford topped it.

3:40, I live here and the school kids do drink. In fact, I am one of those kids and the kids are menaces. Bricks through windows, alcoholic kids and everything. Tourists are also a massive issue to and some areas are actually pretty bad; there's no jobs either and you are paying to live in a place that looks nice really. Everywhere here is dominated by rich old people

Damn it's unfortunate, all these places look so pretty but are so clogged up with cars it's hard to appreciate the historic beauty. I guess that's why I like places like York and Cambridge more, the historic city centers there are mostly car free, a lot calmer and prettier imo

Do Rhyl fella

Surprised you missed out Broadway. I work in Cirencester. There are some rough-arse parts I can tell you. Some houses have outdoor swimming pools and only one butler!

It's not just Burford. Most of the places on this list look like giant car parks. I'm sure the buildings are pretty. If only you could see past the rows of gleaming Mercs, Audis, BMWs and Range Rovers.

I wanna visit Bourton-on-the-water. It’s supposed to have beautiful scenery

Take a trip to Pembroke Dock you'll love it here 😂😂

I cant believe you missed chipping norton!

Just for the record Bourton is a village. And we use goalpost and not the bridges for goals. come up and see us on the 28th Aug.
