Gloucestershire

is divided into three distinct regions, The Cotswolds, The Severn Vale and the Royal Forest of Dean. It has been said that Gloucestershire has the most diverse geology of all the English counties, which is why it can offer such a wide range of landscape, nature, heritage and attractions.

The Cotswolds
designated an area of "Outstanding Natural Beauty" where dry-stone walls cross a landscape of rolling hills and hidden valleys, where ancient churches dominate the honey coloured market towns whose rich architecture is a legacy of former wool wealth. Cheltenham, Oxford, Bath.
The Severn Vale
The river Severn meets the Avon at the medieval town of Tewkesbury. It follows its course through the floodplain landscape of orchards, meadows and traditional half-timbered villages. Past Gloucester and Cheltenham the river widens and snakes on to Slimbridge and Berkeley Castle.
Royal Forest of Dean
24,000 acres of ancient forest create a magical setting for walking or touring.  Many artists and potters choose to live here, often drawing their inspiration from the industrial heritage of the area. Newent, Coleford, Ross on Wye.
