For such a charming place, Chipping Campden mostly remains unnoticed amongst the Cotswold treasures. It is a little odd why so many more people visit nearby (and packed-with-tourists) Burford when it comes to weekend breaks in the Cotswolds for sure.

But, secretly, I think the locals prefer it that way ;-)

So here are nine reasons you might want to visit the lovely and delectable Chipping Campden. Or, when it comes to weekend breaks in the Cotswolds, let's see if you are indeed a discerning visitor then?

1) Do you like to visit towns and villages full of the usual high street stores, or do you prefer to buy high quality items from unique local stores? (For example, in Campden you will find jewelers, antique shops, wine merchants, arts and crafts stores and even patisseries.)

2) Do you like quaint English pubs with names like The King's Arms, or you do prefer supping from venues with coarser names like The Slurping Toad?

3) Do you like to visit interesting art galleries all within easy walking distance from each other?

4) Do you love to learn more about English history and to explore historic houses and gardens?

5) Do you like to go on fabulous little walks (or even arduous long ones like The Cotswold Way)?

6) Are you in interested in odd English festivals like The Olympick Games. (See below.)

7) Do you prefer your English weekends away to be understated, rather than brash and overblown?

8) Do you prefer to drink a cup of English cream tea sometimes rather than the usual Starbucks Latté?

9) Do you like being so charmed by a place, and the buildings and houses you find there, that you simply have to have your photo taken with them in the background?

And, continuing being a bit cheeky, with a tenth extra reason:

10) Do you know what the expression "quintessentially English" means?

That last one's a trick question, actually. If you visit Campden you will discover all of the above and even an example of what many say is "quintessentially Englishness"
