Tewkesbury, Medieval market town in Gloucestershire, England.
The town sits at the meeting point of River Severn and River Avon, featuring over 350 buildings recognized for their architectural significance.
The Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471 marked a critical turning point in the Wars of the Roses, resulting in a decisive victory for the House of York.
Tewkesbury Medieval Festival draws thousands of participants each year for battle reenactments, period demonstrations, and traditional market activities.
Tewkesbury connects to major transport routes via the M5 motorway and Ashchurch railway station, providing direct access to Birmingham and Bristol.
The Norman-era Tewkesbury Abbey, consecrated in 1121, survived the Dissolution of Monasteries when local residents purchased it for continued religious use.
