Shopping is an important part of a visit to the Cotswolds.

If you are looking for fashionable and stylish shops, such as Laura Ashley, a visit to Cheltenham or Bath is a must. For the bustle of a busy market town, with weekly open air markets, try towns like Moreton-on-Marsh and Cirencester, and for arts and crafts a visit to The Old Rope Store in Stroud or Harts jewellery workshop at Chipping Campden are worth while.

You can browse for antiques in many of the Cotswold market towns and villages, in particular Woodstock, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Tetbury. For more information on antiques shops in the Cotswolds visit the Cotswolds Antiques Dealers website
