Anthropologie

The displays of women's clothing and accessories draw on bohemian and global design, and you'll also find home decor, kitchenware, and gifts that feel genuinely considered rather than generic. It's the kind of place where you'll easily lose track of time, spotting things you didn't realize you wanted.

The shop is located in Charlton Kings, a village that's managed to keep its own character despite being just on the edge of Cheltenham. The immediate area is pleasant for a walk, and you're only a short distance from central Cheltenham, which has fine Regency architecture and a strong reputation for food. That makes for a full day's exploration if you want it. If you're moving through the Cotswolds or staying locally, Charlton Kings gives you a more relaxed shopping atmosphere than you'll find in the busier town centre, though all of Cheltenham's attractions are minutes away. Whether you're making a deliberate trip here or browsing while you explore the region, it's a convenient and comfortable spot to spend an hour or two.
