Tewkesbury Borough is in the northern part of the south west, offering both excellent transport links and beautiful scenery. Our borough’s environment is one of its greatest strengths; to the east lies the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and to the northwest the River Avon joins with the River Severn.

Our borough is well connected, with plenty of options for travelling to, from, and around the area. The M5 corridor, Gloucestershire Airport, and Ashchurch for Tewkesbury Railway Station all provide strong transport links. Alongside our growing network of cycling and walking routes, this means our borough is increasingly accessible for everyone. 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 Tewkesbury History Festival and the Medieval Festival, 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!*
