The Cotswolds is an ideal place to visit for those wanting to escape from a large town or city for the weekend, it has been suggested.
According to the Wokingham Times, Chipping Campden is one such destination and may appeal to people that are looking for a break in the countryside.
Writer Sarah Dave noted that the "picture postcard" town features a number of independent shops selling items such as jewellery and antiques, while tea rooms offer home-made cakes and scones.
The town is also home to the Court Barn museum and Guild of Workshops and Ms Dave stated that it is a "great delight" to visit such places, which may be of interest to those staying in Cotswolds holiday cottages.
"You”re eating, walking, drinking and living in Britain”s heritage," she remarked, adding that visitors should be ready for their breath "to be taken away".
The area is also home to a number of local food producers, with one – Martin”s Meats, of Gretton, near Winchcombe – recently picking up five awards, according to the Tewkesbury Admag.
