科茨沃尔德地区以其蜜石城镇和村庄而闻名,这些城镇和村庄坐落在光辉灿烂的连绵山峦之中。 水边布顿(Bourton-on-the-Water)被称为 "科茨沃尔德的威尼斯",因为在村庄中心有许多横跨河流的桥梁。 附近的屠宰场和集镇斯托(Stow-on-the-Wold)也是著名的旅游地。

不要让光辉灿烂的乡村欺骗你;格洛斯特郡有一段动荡的历史。 特克斯伯里战役发生在1471年5月4日,被证明是玫瑰战争中最具决定性的战役之一。 英国内战的最后一场战役发生在1646年3月21日,就在沃尔德河畔斯托的北部一英里处。

格洛斯特郡拥有许多罗马遗址,包括由国家信托基金管理的切德沃斯罗马别墅,它是英格兰最大的罗马别墅之一。 西伦塞斯特在罗马时代是英国第二大城镇,拥有一个保存完好的罗马圆形剧场。

特克斯伯里和格洛斯特都有令人印象深刻的大教堂可供参观。 其他宗教遗址包括温奇科姆附近的海勒斯修道院遗址,这是一座建立于13世纪的西斯特教修道院。

格洛斯特郡的城堡与皇室有联系;同样位于温奇科姆附近的苏德利城堡曾经是亨利八世的第六任也是最后一任妻子凯瑟琳-帕尔女王的住所,国王查理一世在内战期间曾在此避难。 另一座与皇室有关的城堡是中世纪的伯克利城堡,1327年爱德华二世在此被谋杀。

切尔滕纳姆温泉镇非常值得一游,这里有乔治亚和摄政时期的建筑、露台和广场。 不要忘记比赛;每年三月为期四天的切尔滕纳姆节会议的亮点是切尔滕纳姆金杯赛,它吸引了来自世界各地的赛马爱好者。
