Tewkesbury offers a feast if you’re a history buff. From The Bell you can stroll over the road to the 10th century Tewksbury Abbey, the John Moore Museum, and Tewkesbury Heritage Centre. Or visit the site of the decisive War of the Roses battle. The National Trust site Bredon Barn, Ashleworth Tithe Barn, and Croome are close by, as are Odda's Chapel, Hailes Abbey, and Goodrich Castle, all run by English Heritage. We’re 7 miles from Cheltenham, 9 from Gloucester, and 14 from Worcester. While Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon is just 24 miles away.
