The market town of Tewkesbury that is nestled in the north Gloucestershire countryside is based around two rivers – the Avon and the Severn. If you are thinking of a trip to get away and relax in January, then it is definitely somewhere worth considering if you are looking for a weekend away.
One of the biggest appeals of Tewkesbury is the history. You can see it everywhere and it can be akin to going back in time walking around some of the old streets of the town. Of course, the most famous historic building in the town is the beautiful Tewkesbury Abbey, built in the Norman period. It is a must visit for those interested in English heritage and historic architecture.
There are plenty of places to stay in the area too – whether you want to hire an Airbnb, a bed and breakfast, or to indulge in some luxury and relaxation at somewhere like this spa breaks Tewkesbury based hotel https://hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/spa-breaks-cotswolds/tewkesbury there is something to suit all budgets and needs.
