Tewkesbury Borough Council Plan 2025 - 2028 About our borough
Situated at the northernmost gateway to the southwest region, Tewkesbury Borough offers a unique blend of strategic accessibility and scenic beauty. Our borough’s environment is one of its greatest strengths. It is why so many people enjoy living, working and visiting Tewkesbury Borough. To the east, our district lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. To the northwest, the River Avon joins with the River Severn.
Our borough has a lot of options for travelling to, from and around the area. The busy M5 corridor, Gloucestershire Airport and Ashchurch for Tewkesbury Railway Station make up an active travel network. Along with the expanding cycling and walking path networks, our borough is accessible for all.
As well as a mix of traditional industries and modern businesses making up our diverse economy, we are fortunate to have numerous villages and hamlets, each with their own unique character and history.
Our borough has vibrant communities, with local events, festivals and cultural activities taking place throughout the year. This includes the Medieval Festival in Tewkesbury, regarded as the largest free medieval gathering of its kind in Europe.
It’s no wonder our borough has one of the fastest growing populations in the country!*
