Tewkesbury is a popular town for visitors as it offers a blend of everything – if you want rest and relaxation, it is a stone’s throw from both the beautiful Malvern hills, and the Cotswolds area, both of which are areas of outstanding natural beauty. If you want historic sights, then there are plenty in Tewkesbury itself. If you fancy a lively night out, then it is near to the elegant and modern Regency town of Cheltenham, where you will find many bars and clubs, as well as a wealth of high-quality dining options.

Visit Tewkesbury Abbey – The ancient abbey has stood in Tewkesbury for hundreds of years and survived the dissolution of the monasteries when the local people raised enough money to save it as a church. The abbey is a beautiful building, attracting many visitors who want to see the beautiful architecture, the stained-glass windows, as well as enjoy the spiritual aspect of the building. There are also some popular tea rooms next to the abbey that you can enjoy after.
