Tetbury, Market town in Cotswold, England.
Tetbury is a market town in the Cotswolds, centered around a historic market house that stands on stone columns. The town today features independent shops and antique dealers lining its main street, creating a retail destination for various visitors.
During medieval times, Tetbury became a major center for wool trading in the region, leading to the construction of many stone buildings. This economic importance shaped the town for centuries and influenced its physical character.
The annual Woolsack Races showcase the town's connection to its wool-trading past, with participants carrying wool sacks up a hill as a community event. This tradition reflects how locals celebrate and maintain their craft heritage through playful competition.
Visitors should explore Long Street, where most antique shops and independent retailers are concentrated and easily accessible on foot. Weekday afternoons tend to be quieter for browsing than busy weekends.
The Tetbury Police Museum occupies a former police station and displays historical equipment and artifacts from the Gloucestershire Constabulary. The collection provides insight into local law enforcement history spanning many generations.
