Gloucestershire consists of three areas, the
major part of the Cotswolds, the Royal
Forest of Dean and the Severn Vale with a
total population of 565,000. Many of the
fine churches and manor houses in
Gloucestershire originate from the
generosity of the wealthy medieval yeoman
farmers and wool merchants. The villages and
towns, humble weavers cottages, mansions,
and churches owe much of their charm to the
use of the warm, honey-coloured limestone
which was locally quarried by hand.
With hundreds of Gloucestershire Self
Catering Cottages listed there is sure to be
one ideal for you. Gloucestershire cottages
are spread throughout the county.
The Royal Forest of Dean
Covering 27,000 acres of woodland the Royal
Forest of Dean is one of England's few
remaining ancient forests nestling between
the Wye Valley, the Vale of Leadon and the
Severn Valley. The Royal Forest of Dean
identified a National Forest Park in 1938,
consists of a spectacular range of natural
beauty and has been the inspiration for many
great artists and writers including Tolkien
and JK Rowling.
The Severn Vale embraces the lower reaches
of Britain's longest river: and spreads out
to lush meadow farmlands. The curious
solitude of the widening estuary is a haven
for thousands of wildfowl and wading birds
