About Gloucestershire There’s so much to discover and enjoy here in Gloucestershire, from the great outdoors to arts and culture, sports and socialising, to fine foods and great shopping. As well as being the gateway to the South West, we’re well connected to the rest of the county and within easy travelling distance of Birmingham, Oxford, Cardiff, Bristol and London. The county is scenically beautiful. Over half of Gloucestershire’s 1025 square miles have been designated as areas of outstanding natural beauty, including parts of the Cotswolds, the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean with some of England’s most beautiful villages, picturesque hamlets and tranquil countryside. It is also a great place for families, with Ofsted rating our schools amongst the very best in the South West. Gloucester, the county town, is everything you’d expect from a vibrant, multi-cultural British city. It’s also home to one of the finest medieval buildings in the country; the breath- taking cathedral has been the backdrop of many scenes in Doctor Who, Harry Potter films and most recently in Mary Queen of Scots.

From the Victorian Docks to the bustling restaurants and shops at Gloucester Quays, the city is a unique blend of historic charm and modern attraction. Cheltenham is the county’s cultural heart, resplendent with its celebrated Georgian architecture, world-renowned festivals of literature, science and music and not least the famous race course, home to the Gold Cup.
