Gloucestershire, Ceremonial county in South West England.
The county spreads across 3,150 square kilometers, featuring the Cotswolds, Royal Forest of Dean, and Severn Vale regions with thirty-three distinct towns.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle first recorded Gloucestershire in the 10th century, and Bristol separated from the county in 1373 during the Industrial Revolution period.
The county maintains fifteen operational railway stations, with Gloucester Cathedral and Berkeley Castle representing major architectural achievements from different historical periods.
Gloucestershire County Council coordinates with six district councils to manage public services, education, and infrastructure development across the region.
The Forest of Dean contains specific breeds of livestock, including Gloucestershire Old Spot pigs and Gloucester cattle, which graze freely in designated areas.
