Like many of its Cotswolds neighbours, Stow was at the centre of the Cotswolds wool trade.

The vast Market Square (pictured) is a sign of the towns former importance. At one end stands the town stocks and the other the ancient cross. An elegant array of Cotswold town houses and shops surrounds the square.

Stow on the Wold is an important shopping centre and is home to many antique shops, art galleries and gifts and crafts shops.
