County at a glance - Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire takes in the Cotswolds, the Forest of Dean and the Severn Vale, three quite different landscapes in one county. Pegasus has communities in two of its towns, Cheltenham and Tetbury.

Cheltenham is a town that boasts a full calendar worthy of a small city: four annual festivals, the Everyman Theatre, public gardens and its own mainline station. Tetbury is a classic Cotswold market town. Quaint shopping on the streets, regular markets and an arts centre in its old railway goods shed. A bigger stage and a little more hustle and bustle, or the simple pleasures of a market-town - either presents a pleasing choice.

Why retire in Gloucestershire Westonbirt Arboretum

Why retire in Gloucestershire?

  • A festival town and a market town give Gloucestershire two scales of town life, so the choice comes down to the week you want.

  • Cheltenham Festivals covers jazz, science, music and literature, and Tetbury Goods Shed hosts films, talks and workshops. However far you’re moving, your interests can come with you.

  • Cheltenham’s Pittville Park, Leckhampton Hill above the town and Westonbirt near Tetbury mean outdoor time can be a tranquil park bench or a proper hike.

  • Cheltenham’s Montpellier district has independent shops, galleries and cafés, and Tetbury mixes food shops with specialist stores, so errands and browsing go together.

Retirement living in Gloucestershire

In Cheltenham, the Everyman keeps the stage busy between festivals, so a night at the theatre is never far off the calendar. In Tetbury, markets at the Market House give the week a familiar rhythm. The Goods Shed’s workshops are there when you fancy trying something new.

For wider travel, Cheltenham Spa has direct trains to London Paddington and Bristol, while Tetbury connects to the main line at nearby Kemble. Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, makes a rewarding outing near Tetbury, with membership for regular visitors.
