About

Tewkesbury district sits at the northern edge of Gloucestershire in South West England. The town of Tewkesbury occupies the confluence of the Rivers Severn and Avon and its medieval street plan centres on Tewkesbury Abbey, a Norman church that dominates the riverside skyline. The low-lying ground around the town forms part of the Severn floodplain and has shaped local agriculture and settlement patterns. The area also includes the fields where the Battle of Tewkesbury was fought in 1471.

Beyond the river plain the district rises into the Cotswold Hills, with villages such as Winchcombe and Bishop's Cleeve set among limestone country. Sudeley Castle, near Winchcombe, contains the tomb of Catherine Parr and sits within gardens and parkland. Ashchurch houses the main rail connection for Tewkesbury and links to the M5 provide road access to nearby centres. Farming, forestry and small manufacturing sit alongside market towns and conservation areas; sites of local interest include nature reserves on the Severn and small-scale quarrying on the Cotswold scarp.
