Gloucestershire is a county of remarkable diversity, boasting three distinct areas: the Cotswold Hills, the Forest of Dean, and the Severn Vale. The Cotswold Hills are characterized by their gently rolling hills, adorned with picturesque towns and villages made of honey-colored limestone. These areas are further distinguished by the Forest of Dean, which boasts a dark and mysterious beauty, standing in stark contrast to the rest of the county. The Forest of Dean overlooks the stunning Wye Valley and the majestic Welsh mountains beyond, creating a truly unique landscape. Separated by the mighty River Severn, which has carved its course through the land over countless centuries, the Severn Vale emerges. Builders in this low-lying region often employed timber frames for constructing dwellings, particularly in the town of Tewkesbury. However, it is in the Vale area that some of Gloucestershire's most impressive stone buildings, such as Gloucester Cathedral, Tewkesbury Abbey, and Berkeley Castle, can be found. At the heart of the county lies its two major settlements: the historic city of Gloucester and the renowned spa town of Cheltenham. These towns are famous for their festivals and Regency architecture, adding to the county's charm. In his book "50 Gems of Gloucestershire," author Mark Turner delves into the history of these places and many more, showcasing why this part of the west of England is truly special.
