Tewkesbury, a civil parish in the north of Gloucestershire, England, is a charismatic town steeped in medieval charm and history. Much of its growth can be traced back to the 12th-century Tewkesbury Abbey. Situated at the confluence of the Rivers Severn and Avon, Tewkesbury was, and still is, a crucial trading point.

Known for its vernacular medieval and Tudor architecture, Tewkesbury boasts immaculately preserved structures such as the Black Bear public house dating from 1308, the picturesque Royal Hop Pole Hotel, and the House of the Nodding Gables. The nearby Abbey Cottages house the John Moore Museum, encapsulating the town's rich history.

Tewkesbury's riverine location led to the establishment of numerous bridges, including the Mythe Bridge by Thomas Telford over the Severn and King John's Bridge over the Avon. Once a key industrial centre, Tewkesbury had a flourishing flour mill at the junction of the Avon and Severn. Now, it's the perfect base to explore the wider Cotswold area, with easy access to the M5 and M50 motorways and the Ashchurch for Tewkesbury railway station.
