Imagine everything good about the English countryside and you will probably think of Gloucestershire, and why not it is without doubt one of our most beautiful counties. The most famous area of Gloucestershire is the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds are adored for their architecture and picturesque villages of honey stone cottages that nestle in the valleys. Gloucestershire is 90% rural with the remainder being towns and cities. Gloucester is the county's capital, famous for its Norman cathedral and restored Victorian docks. Nearby is Cheltenham, a spa town renowned for the splendour of its Regency architecture and a winner of the Britain in Bloom competition. Tewkesbury has many fine examples of half-timbered buildings whilst Stroud has a rich industrial heritage. Coleford is the administrative centre for the Forest of Dean and Cirencester, and fulfils the same function for the Cotswolds. The county of Gloucestershire is steeped in history and rich in agricultural practice; the county provides a unique experience of traditional rural life to visitors and for centuries the people of Gloucestershire have been sympathetic with the landscape in terms of agriculture, woodlands and architecture. It has been said “Gloucestershire has supreme examples of all that is finest in terms of countryside that has been influenced by humankind since time immemorial”  Whilst the gay scene in Gloucestershire isn't exactly buzzing its little bottom off, there is a great selection of places to stay on Gay Accommodation Gloucestershire where gays and lesbians can holiday in perhaps England’s most beautiful County.
