The Cotswolds - Tetbury, Gloucestershire

Tetbury is a town steeped in history and can be found in one of the most beautiful parts of the Cotswolds, approximately 12 miles from Cirencester.

Through the middle-ages Tetbury's market grew in reputation as a centre for the best in Cotswold wool & yarn

The wool sack race, which is still run annually, is believed to have been born during Tetbury's early trade in wool. The race is run up a 1 in 4 hill and has been given world record status.

Essentially a sleepy Cotswold town, Tetbury is perhaps closer to its origins that other Cotswold places and wonderful arcitecture can be found wherever you look.

Tetbury has an abundance of antique shops and quality coaching inns.

Prince Charles lives close by at Highgrove.

Tetbury can claim to be the headquarters for the planning of the D-Day landings as General Eisenhower planned the invasion of Europe while billeted at Chavenage House near Tetbury.
