A short walk from Cheltenham's center, in the residential area of Charlton Kings, you'll find Apricot, a boutique clothing shop with a carefully curated selection that feels personal rather than mass-produced.
Whether you're looking for contemporary pieces or a stylish accessory, the stock here has genuine character.
Charlton Kings itself is worth exploring while you're in the area. Once an independent village before Cheltenham expanded, it's retained plenty of its own identity. The Cotswold stone buildings dotted throughout speak to its heritage as a distinct settlement, and you'll find several local cafes where you can settle in for a coffee and soak up the quieter, more relaxed atmosphere compared to the town proper. If you fancy stretching your legs, several footpaths head out into the countryside from here.
The location works well as a base because you're just minutes from Cheltenham's well-known Regency streets, which pack in excellent shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. At the same time, you're not in the thick of things. It's also an easy drive to other Cotswolds villages like Painswick or Winchcombe if you want to venture deeper into the landscape the region is known for. So Charlton Kings gives you the benefit of being close to a proper town while keeping one foot in the quieter side of the Cotswolds.
