Introducing Gloucestershire
The unhurried charm of Gloucestershire is one of is greatest pleasures, and after the crowds and commercialism of the Cotswolds it’s an authentic alternative, with its fair share of mellow stone villages and rustic allure. Here too is the elegant Regency town of Cheltenham with its graceful, tree-lined terraces and upmarket boutiques, and the county capital, Gloucester, with its magnificent Gothic cathedral. Tudor Tewkesbury, to the north, has a gracious Norman abbey and numerous half-timbered houses, while to the west, the historic Forest of Dean is a leafy backwater crisscrossed by numerous trails and littered with vestiges of its mining past.
