Tewkesbury is a pretty town sandwiched between two Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on the bank of the River Avon. This market town is a picturesque spot for a short break. Steeped in history, there are many old buildings to admire; Tewkesbury Abbey is a particularly wonderful structure not to be missed on a stroll around town.
This town is renowned for a battle that took place here in 1471 and there is an impressive 5 meter high commemorative sculpture, The Arrivall. If you want to learn more on you trip there are two museums in Tewkesbury where you can learn about the past of this beguiling town, or the about the diverse wildlife of Gloucestershire. There are also two walking trails; the Battle Trail and the Vintage and Antiques Trail where you can learn while you walk. The countryside of the surrounding area is beautiful and worth exploring in its own right, whether by one of the country walks or cycling routes. Being situated on the banks of a river, fishing is also popular. Whether you go with friends or family, Last Minute Cottages has the perfect place for your holiday.
