A little more time
Black Jack Street gives you a close-up of everyday Cotswold life, from independent traders and stone-fronted buildings to the small details visitors miss from a car.
Plan the visit
Go on foot, arrive before the busiest part of the day and leave time for a coffee or local lunch. Combine it with the nearest church, museum or riverside path to make a rounded town visit.
Opening hours
Outdoor streets and squares are open access; individual shops, galleries and market stalls keep their own hours and often shorten them in winter.
Reading the place
Black Jack Street works best as a loose browse, with independent traders and the details of the town providing as much interest as any single shop or stall. Look beyond the main frontage and allow time for the side streets.
Planning notes
Market dates, trader lists and Sunday opening can change, so check before travelling. Arrive with room for a coffee or lunch and use the visit as the first part of a wider town-centre walk.
