Nestled within the south west of England, Gloucestershire boasts some truly stunning landscapes, taking in part of The Cotswolds, the entire Forest of Dean and part of the valley of the River Severn. The main city of the county is Gloucester and a trip here wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the magnificent 11th century Cathedral, resting place of King Edward II whilst the Gloucester Docks are soaked in history and boast various great bars, restaurants and shops. The Regency Spa town of Cheltenham is another famous place in Gloucestershire, home to the famous racecourse and the annual Cheltenham Festival, the town is found within an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of The Cotswolds. Away from the towns and cities, Gloucestershire has so much to offer visitors, including the amazing Royal Forest of Dean.
