Tetbury is also home to over twenty-five antique shops, which, in addition to tourism, are the town's main income. Book a short break in a Tetbury holiday cottage and indulge in an antique hunt. The city is highly historic and perfect for a quiet getaway deep into the Cotswold countryside. There is an inspirational Georgian Gothic church to discover when you're not outside roaming the greens, which has stayed impressively intact for the last three hundred years. It has the fourth-highest spire in England and a fascinating interior, making it well worth a visit. During the summer, the town becomes a riot of flowers as it seeks to add to its impressive collection of awards in the RHS Britain in Bloom competition. Along with all the history accompanying this town, Tetbury also offers a fabulous array of cafes, bars, and restaurants that, like Tetbury, are all intent on entertaining and satisfying you.
Enjoy great days out at nearby attractions such as the National Arboretum or picnics and watersports at the Cotswold Water Park, England's largest inland water area. For nature lovers, don't miss the famous Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust site at Slimbridge. At the same time, historical buffs should include Berkeley Castle in their itinerary and discover its role in influencing England's history.
Tetbury is a re-assuringly well-kept town with quaint thatched holiday cottages and warm, friendly local pubs ready to welcome you in after a long, lovely day exploring the Cotswolds. The scenery is marvellous in the Cotswolds district; rolling hills dominate the countryside backdrop and provide a fairy tale atmosphere. Tetbury is probably best known for its history in the wool business. It has been named an 'architectural gem' as many of the elegant woollen industry buildings have been carefully preserved in addition to its magnificent seventeenth-century market hall.
