The table shows the seepage of wealth westwards along the Thames corridor through the Cotswolds to the West Country, and the rise of seaside favourites such as Salcombe. It also pinpoints the star towns that have risen on the strength of their beauty alone - Petworth in Sussex, for example, and Ambleside in Cumbria. In the north it shows the effect of the Cheshire champagne set and the multi-millionaire footballer phenomenon.
