Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds is all that you dream of as your favourite image of the English countryside. Sleepy villages with flower adorned cottages, lively pubs with excellent food, antique shops, market towns and impressive cathedrals, castles and churches.

Gloucestershire is situated in the heart of Central England, less than two hours drive from London, and less than one hour from Bristol and Birmingham. The county falls into five distinctly different areas. Nearly all of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) lies in the county, whilst in the valley below lie the green pastures of the Severn Vale. The vale is also the setting for the Regency spa town of Cheltenham and the historic City of Gloucester, whilst the magical Royal Forest of Dean can be found on the western side of the county.

A county of contrasts, Gloucestershire is considered one of the most varied counties in England. Many historic towns, villages and splendid manor houses can be found in the county, including the homes of many celebrities. In addition to the spectacular countryside Gloucestershire has some outstanding historical buildings, including Gloucester Cathedral, Tewkesbury Abbey and the stunning Regency buildings of Cheltenham Spa.
