Things to see and do in Gloucestershire

If you love exploring miles of open countryside either on foot or on your bike, you’re going to love Gloucestershire. From the Cotswolds to the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley, the county is bursting with beautiful natural settings which provide the perfect backdrop to spending your time outdoors. 

Cultural draws across the county include Tewkesbury Abbey, Sudeley Castle and Gloucester Cathedral, as well as the British Motor Museum, the Corinium Museum and Westonbirt’s National Arboretum.

Education

If you have kids to think of, Sir Thomas Rich’s School in Gloucester is rated as one of the county’s best secondary schools for boys. If you have girls you can turn your attention to Denmark Road High School, with both institutions judged to be outstanding by Ofsted. The same goes for Stroud High School, as well as Powell’s CofE in Cirencester and Fairford CofE in the county’s south east. And likewise Blue Coat CofE in Wotton-under-Edge, which is close to Bristol. 

Transport links in Gloucestershire

There are plenty of bus, train and park and ride services available across Gloucestershire, while the county council has also invested money into the region’s walking and cycling infrastructure to boost sustainable travel. If you do need to drive, the M5 motorway passes through the west of the county close to Bristol Channel, which you can use to head north all the way to Birmingham. 

The Gloucestershire property market

As you’d expect from a large county, there are properties across Gloucestershire to suit all different types of tastes and budgets, whether you’re after a 1 bedroom flat or a vast detached home. House prices are significantly higher than the UK average, but you can still find great value in the area. 

Hunts Grove, for example, is an impressive little neighbourhood on the southern outskirts of Gloucester, where you’ll find a superb collection of contemporary 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes. There’s also the neighbouring Nupend with its 3 and 4 beds on the edge of pretty open countryside. Wherever you’re looking, don’t miss offers like the Government-backed Help to Buy scheme for an extra helping hand with your move.
