Gloucestershire, Cotswold District

PR in Cirencester

The largest town in the Cotswolds, Cirencester mixes Roman history, a busy independent shopping centre and the Royal Agricultural University, the first agricultural college in the English-speaking world. Its businesses range from restaurants, delis and interiors shops to land agents, agri-tech firms and the professional practices that serve the estates around it. The story editors are running now is Cirencester as the lived-in, less crowded alternative to the honeypot villages.

Gloucestershire, Cotswold District

PR in Stow-on-the-Wold

Stow sits high on the Fosse Way around a market square lined with antique dealers, galleries, old inns and tearooms. It is one of the most valuable property markets in the Cotswolds, and its hotels, pubs and shops trade heavily on visitors and on buyers from London. Stories here tend to be about prime property, antiques and interiors, and the country pubs and hotels in the villages around it.

Oxfordshire, West Oxfordshire District

PR in Burford

Often called the gateway to the Cotswolds, Burford runs down a steep high street of honey-coloured coaching inns, delis and interiors shops to the River Windrush. It has the highest average sold price of any town on this page, which makes it a natural source of prime property stories, and its hotels and restaurants feature in national hotel and food lists. Food, hospitality and property are where the stories are.

Oxfordshire, West Oxfordshire District

PR in Chipping Norton

Chipping Norton is a working market town with an unusually famous hinterland: Soho Farmhouse at Great Tew, Daylesford near Kingham and Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm are all close by. That mix of members' clubs, farm shops and television attention keeps the national press coming back, and gives local food, drink, hospitality and property businesses plenty of hooks. The town itself remains refreshingly ordinary, which is a story in its own right.

Gloucestershire, Cotswold District

PR in Tetbury

Tetbury is an old wool town in the southern Cotswolds, known for its antiques and interiors dealers and for Highgrove, the King's private residence, just outside it. The surrounding country is horse and polo territory, with Badminton nearby, and the town's shops, hotels and restaurants sell to a well-travelled, affluent customer. Interiors, luxury retail and country-house hospitality produce the strongest stories.

Gloucestershire, Stroud District

PR in Stroud, Painswick and the Five Valleys

Stroud is the creative, independent-minded side of the Cotswolds: a former cloth town with a well-loved farmers' market, makers and studios in converted mills, and a strong green business scene. Painswick, Nailsworth, Minchinhampton and the valleys around them add boutique hotels, destination restaurants and some of the most dramatic countryside in the region. Stories here lean towards food, design, sustainability and the people behind small brands.

Gloucestershire, Cotswold District

PR in Bourton-on-the-Water and Bibury

These are the Cotswolds of the postcard, and increasingly of the overtourism headline. Bibury's Arlington Row and the low bridges over the Windrush at Bourton draw huge numbers of day visitors, which puts pressure on residents and creates a real communications challenge for the hotels, restaurants and attractions that depend on them. Bourton is also home to Hawkstone, the brewery that grew from a small Cotswold operation into a national brand.

  • Bibury, a village of about 600 people, has seen up to 20,000 visitors in a single summer weekend. Forbes named it the world's most beautiful village in September 2025. Time Out, 2025
  • Gloucestershire County Council set up a working group in March 2025 to find a way forward on coaches in Bibury. Gloucestershire County Council, March 2025

Worcestershire (Wychavon District) and Gloucestershire (Cotswold District)

PR in Broadway and Chipping Campden

Two of the north Cotswolds' most admired high streets, a few miles apart on either side of the county line. Chipping Campden's wool-merchant architecture marks the start of the 102-mile Cotswold Way, while Broadway has become a hotel destination in its own right. Hospitality, spas, weddings, galleries and prime property produce most of the stories here.

Gloucestershire, Cotswold District

PR in Moreton-in-Marsh

Moreton is the north Cotswolds' practical hub: a Fosse Way market town with a railway station on the line to London and a busy weekly market. Its agricultural show in early September, the pubs and hotels of the surrounding villages and a steady flow of commuters and weekenders give businesses here a mix of local, visitor and property stories.

Oxfordshire, West Oxfordshire District

PR in Witney

West Oxfordshire's largest town grew rich on blanket-making and is now a busy commuter and shopping town on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds. It is home to many of the professional, property and trade businesses that serve Burford, Charlbury and the villages around, as well as independent shops and restaurants. Stories here are more often business and community news than glossy features, so county and trade titles matter as much as the nationals.

Gloucestershire, Tewkesbury Borough

PR in Winchcombe and Tewkesbury

Winchcombe is a walkers' town on the Cotswold Way, overlooked by Sudeley Castle, where Katherine Parr is buried. Tewkesbury, where the Severn meets the Avon, has its Norman abbey, timber-framed streets and an annual medieval festival. Together they produce heritage, events, weddings and food and drink stories, and they sit within easy reach of Cheltenham's visitors.

Gloucestershire, Cheltenham Borough

PR in Cheltenham

A Regency spa town with a national calendar: the Cheltenham Festival in March, and literature, jazz, science and music festivals through the year. GCHQ and the Golden Valley development give it a growing cyber and technology economy, alongside independent schools, restaurants and hotels. Racing, festivals, schools and tech all produce stories the national press follows.

Oxfordshire, Oxford City and the county's districts

PR in Oxford and Oxfordshire

A county of two stories: the science, research and publishing economy of Oxford, and the country houses, members' clubs and farm shops of West Oxfordshire. Blenheim Palace, Soho Farmhouse, Estelle Manor and Daylesford all sit within a short drive of each other. Hospitality, property and technology businesses here compete nationally, and need coverage to match.

  • Tourism was worth £2.4 billion to Oxfordshire in 2024, from 25.3 million trips, and accounted for 11% of the county's employment. Experience Oxfordshire
  • Blenheim Palace at Woodstock, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Blenheim Palace

Bath and North East Somerset, and north Wiltshire

PR in Bath and the southern Cotswolds

Bath is where the Cotswolds end: a World Heritage spa city of hotels, spas, restaurants and independent brands, with Castle Combe, Colerne, Malmesbury and Tetbury in the countryside beyond. Wellness, hospitality, weddings and independent retail produce the strongest stories, and most of the customers come from well beyond the city.

  • Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 and received a second inscription in 2021 as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe. Bath World Heritage
  • Restaurant Hywel Jones at Lucknam Park, Colerne, retained its Michelin star in 2026 for the 21st consecutive year. Lucknam Park, February 2026
