About

Matson and Robinswood sit on the eastern edge of Gloucester, formed by residential streets, local shops and community facilities. Housing ranges from post‑war council terraces to later private developments, with primary schools and small parks serving neighbourhoods. Bus routes link the area to the city centre and industrial areas to the south. Community groups run allotments, youth projects and occasional street events, and a network of footpaths connects estates to larger green spaces and local playing fields.

Robinswood Hill Country Park occupies much of the higher ground and is the area's main open space. Trails lead through mixed woodland and grassland to a summit marked by a concrete triangulation pillar, a fixed point often used by walkers. The hill contains scrub, paths for walking and cycling, and pockets of wildflower meadow managed by volunteers. From its slopes residents access routes into surrounding countryside while keeping services and shops of Matson within easy reach.
