Tewkesbury

Tucked between the River Severn and the River Avon in Gloucestershire, Tewkesbury is a place whose character is shaped by their confluence and the low-lying floodplain around it. The town centre is anchored by Tewkesbury Abbey, a former Benedictine monastery whose substantial Norman tower rises above Church Street. Timber-framed houses and narrow lanes retain the scale of the medieval borough. In 1471, the Battle of Tewkesbury, a decisive engagement in the Wars of the Roses, was fought nearby; its legacy remains central to the town’s identity. Riverside routes connect the historic centre with both waterways. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Tewkesbury and the Severn–Avon floodplain relate to their surroundings.
