💨 Abstract

The Cotswolds, a popular summer destination, is becoming overly crowded with celebrities and tourists. Those seeking similar charm without the crowds can explore under-the-radar alternatives like Bruton, which offers rural charm and artistic edge with galleries and cosy pubs. Stamford in Lincolnshire provides historic streets, independent cafés, and nearby scenic walks. Petworth delivers timeless charm and open-air freedom surrounded by historic landscapes.
