Gloucester is a city and district in southwest England, the county city of Gloucestershire. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest.
Hartpury is based just outside Gloucester and has good links to and from Gloucester.
It lies at the head of the River Severn estuary on the border with Wales. The administrative, geographic, and historic counties cover somewhat different areas. The administrative county comprises six districts: Cotswold, Forest of Dean, Stroud, the boroughs of Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, and the city of Gloucester, the county seat.
Today, Gloucester is undergoing something of a modern-day rennaissance, rediscovering and celebrating its rich history. The regeneration of the docks, the King’s Quarter, the Greater Blackfriars area and other once-neglected areas of the city has brought in significant investment that shows no sign of abating.
The city continues to serve up an increasingly inspiring array of visitor attractions, festivals, shopping, sport and entertainment on offer to meet the needs of a 21st century audience. Gloucester is built on historic foundations but is marching forward in style.
