Heritage Britain

The county of Gloucestershire, England


The Cotswold county is situated around 90 miles from London and is surrounded by seven counties; Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire to the north, Oxfordshrie to the east, Wiltshire and Somerset to the south and Monmouthshire in Wales to the west. Gloucestershire is a patchwork of small stone villages and delightful rolling countryside. The oaks and beeches of the Forest of Dean dominate the south west, separated by the River Severn. Communities unchanged for centuries still rely on the woods. Touring this area is a joy with a steady succession of charming ‘wool' towns like Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden, breathtaking scenes and views, and totally unspoilt villages like Lower Slaughter, Minchinhampton and Snowshill. There are many historic houses, castles and heritage sites to visit in Gloucestershire including the splendid and ancient Berkeley Castle, Sudeley Castle at Winchcombe, Rodmarton Manor, Snowhill Manor, Stanway House and Chedworth Roman Villa to mention just a few. A visit to Gloucestershire would not be complete without visiting the Regency Spa Town of Cheltenham and The Pittville Pump Room which is not just a tourist attraction as it also doubles up as a fine wedding and conference venue
