According to the UK Telegraph, the once sleepy Cotswolds town of Charlbury that’s becoming Notting Hill-on-the-Wolds has long been a haunt for the great and the good – now it has the hip hotels and restaurants it deserves. Set in the Evenlode Valley, the town of Charlbury grew from a small clearing in the Wychwood Forest to a prosperous market town, due largely to its reputation as a glove making centre during the 18th and 19th centuries.Today the town is a quiet, unspoilt 'hidden gem' with a growing reputation as a centre for walking. Surrounded by the remains of the ancient Wychwood Forest and encircled by the Oxfordshire Way, this Quaker town is full of fascination and wonder, combining rural charm with bustling town life. The railway station, serving the London to Worcester mainline, makes Charlbury a popular and accessible location for visitors wanting a deliciously satisfying taste of the Cotswolds.
