Gloucestershire Holiday Cottages
Gloucestershire holiday cottages provide opportunities for exploring the South Midlands - a region of slow-flowing rivers and hills that flatten out towards the Severn Estuary. The county is a picturesque region that consists of grasslands and shifting sands which are a haven for a rich array of seabirds. Gloucestershire cottages information can be found below.
Its main town Gloucester, with its fine Cathedral and port, sits in the middle of the Severn Valley and is a popular attraction due to its fine collection of Roman and Norman antiquities. Gloucestershire Cathedral is one of the most impressive in the UK and boasts the largest stain-glass window in Britain measuring 72x38ft.
Towns such as Berkeley and Tewkesbury epitomise the character of Gloucestershire and offer majestic reminders of a rich and eventful past. Berkeley has an impressive 12th century castle and parish church while Tewkesbury, with its 13th and 14th century inns and Tudor houses was the site of a Yorkist victory in the Wars of the Roses.
The flatlands of Gloucestershire offer the visitor countless picturesque opportunities for escaping the stresses of modern life and are a popular destination for short breaks. If you're looking for a relaxing break then it might be worth booking Gloucestershire holiday cottages or
self catering holidays in the area.
