Glorious Gloucestershire; what a county! Home to so many incredible highlights it's no wonder it's such a popular choice for days out, weekend breaks and family holidays. This area of The Cotswolds has a fantastic choice of things to see and do - something to suit all ages and tastes. Let's take a look.

Towns to visit in Gloucestershire

The city of Gloucester strikes an attractive balance with historic heritage and modern living. From its impressive cathedral (Harry Potter fans will recognise it!) to Gloucester Docks, to its shopping, dining, museums and attractions, Gloucester has lots to offer. It also makes an excellent base for exploring the rest of Gloucestershire with great transport links.

The Regency spa town of Cheltenham is known for its fabulous festivals, theatres, spa waters and boutique shopping. Definitely well worth a visit. Pay a visit to the Roman town of Cirencester and the unique town of Stroud, with its eclectic mix of galleries, shops, cafes and a great brewery.

And don't miss Tetbury, where the family home of HRH King Charles III and the Queen Consort is located. Take a garden tour of Highgrove to see the King's horticultural influences over the years. There are also plenty of other great attractions nearby. Take a look below.
