Gloucestershire

Honey-hued villages imbue Gloucestershire with a timeless charm.

The cathedral city of Gloucester would be reason enough to visit this scenic county, but Gloucestershire is also renowned for its Cotswolds beauty, its spa town at Cheltenham and, of course, the mighty River Severn. Explore by boat, on foot or from the saddle, but make sure you dedicate part of every day to simply sitting back and savouring the view.
