Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

Tewkesbury is a thriving historic town in Gloucestershire and living museum of architecture and social history spanning over 500 years. The ancient settlement is situated at the meeting point of the rivers Severn and Avon, and these surrounding rivers and the flood plain have prevented the old town from expanding, meaning Tewkesbury has hardly altered since the Middle Ages.

With bundles of medieval character and charm, Tewkesbury is a must-visit for those tourists visiting the northern Cotswolds, Gloucestershire region. Discover the hidden charms along narrow alleyways where the crooked timber buildings nearly touch or take a leisurely cruise along the river and appreciate the best medieval black and white townscape in the country.

The town features many notable half-timbered Tudor buildings, overhanging upper storeys and ornately carved doorways to admire, but the highlight is the Tewkesbury Abbey, a fine Norman Abbey which has the highest Norman tower in England and was originally part of a monastery. Known to some as the 'Westminster Abbey' of the feudal barony, Tewkesbury Abbey has much to discover and offer.

Other attractions in the town of Tewkesbury are the John Moore Countryside Museum, the Town Museum and the Old Baptist Chapel. A busy Tewkesbury Market is held every Wednesday and Saturday and a Farmers Market is also held every month, usually hosted by Tewkesbury Abbey.
