Places of interest are Berkeley Castle, an example of a feudal stronghold. Sudeley Castle, Tewkesbury Abbey and the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust, Slimbridge. There are several royal residences in Gloucestershire, including Highgrove House and Gatcombe Park. The book 'Cider with Rosie' By Laurie Lee is a tale of growing up in Gloucestershire. |
