You'll find Latchfords just outside Cheltenham in Charlton Kings, a gift and homeware shop that rewards a browse whether you're hunting for something specific or simply exploring.
The stock spans various styles and price points, so there's a reasonable chance of finding something that appeals—a souvenir from your Cotswolds travels, a gift for someone at home, or just something you fancy for yourself. What sets it apart is the sense of genuine curation rather than mass-market filling; it feels like an independent shop where the selections actually mean something.
Charlton Kings itself has a relaxed village character. Beyond Latchfords, you'll find a handful of other local shops and cafes dotted around, making it easy to settle in for an hour without any pressure to rush. It's a useful spot if you're based in Cheltenham but fancy somewhere with a slower rhythm and less tourist infrastructure. The village has developed its own personality without becoming overly commercialised, and Latchfords fits naturally into that landscape. If you're after a particular item or want to follow up on something that caught your eye during your visit, it's worth adding to your plans, especially given how close you are to Cheltenham if you need to head back into town.
