The market town of Tewkesbury, that sits on the bank of not one but two rivers – the Severn and the Avon – is a great place to explore if you are looking for somewhere to go for a weekend away over the bank holiday. With plenty of charm and history there are plenty of things to do to keep you busy…
The main feature of the town of course is Tewkesbury Abbey. Built in the 12th century, this is a must see, especially to those who appreciate architecture. There is also a local museum where you will be able to find out more about the abbey and of course the popular abbey tea room to get something to eat and drink after your visit.
You will also be able to see the abundance of history as you walk through the town with cobbled streets and medieval buildings around you.
As well as the town itself, Tewkesbury also of course has the two rivers, making it a fantastic place to go for riverside walks as well as boat trips. The rivers and the surrounding area is beautiful and home to an abundance of wildlife too, and on warm days it is a great place to go for a picnic.
There are plenty of places to stay in the area too – whether you want luxury and relaxation at somewhere like this spa breaks Tewkesbury based hotel //hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/tewkesbury/ or you want to stay in a friendly bed and breakfast, or go self-catering maybe by renting a cottage on Airbnb – there is something to suit everyone.
