Things to do around Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire, nestled in the heart of England, offers a delightful mix of history, natural wonders, and cultural experiences. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a history buff, or simply seeking a memorable day out, Gloucestershire has something for everyone. Let's explore some of the best activities to enjoy in this picturesque county:
1. Visit the Dean Heritage Centre, Forest of Dean:
- Immerse yourself in the Forest of Dean, a lush expanse of woodlands and hills. The Dean Heritage Centre provides insights into the area's history, but the real adventure lies outdoors. Go mountain biking, hiking, or camping amidst the natural beauty. The Forest Adventure Outdoor Centre is perfect for family fun, with playgrounds and outdoor activities. For an unforgettable family day out, the Forest of Dean is a must-visit.
2. Explore the Cotswolds:
- The Cotswolds span five English counties, with much of it in Gloucestershire. Nature lovers will revel in the Woodchester Valley's greenery. Hike, cycle, or simply potter around the charming Cotswold villages. Sip cream tea, browse boutique shops, and soak in the idyllic countryside. The Cotswolds are equally enchanting during Christmas, making it a year-round gem.
3. Visit the Airborne Trampoline Park:
- For active family fun, head to the Airborne Trampoline Park. Kids (and adults!) can bounce, flip, and play in this exciting indoor space. It's a great way to burn energy and have a blast with friends and family.
4. Day Out at Berkeley Castle:
- Explore Berkeley Castle, a historic gem near Stroud. Wander through its medieval halls, admire the architecture, and learn about its fascinating past. Don't miss the beautiful gardens and the chance to step back in time.
5. Experience a Gloucester Festival:
- Gloucester hosts various festivals throughout the year. From music and arts to food and heritage, there's always something happening. Check the local calendar and join in the festivities for a vibrant day out.
6. Dive into Bathurst Open Air Pool:
- Take a refreshing dip at the Bathurst Open Air Pool in Lydney. This unique pool is fed by natural spring water and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It's a relaxing way to spend a sunny day.
7. Relax at the Chapel Spa:
- Treat yourself to a spa day at the Chapel Spa in Cheltenham. Unwind in the luxurious thermal suite, enjoy treatments, and rejuvenate your senses. It's the perfect escape for adults seeking relaxation.
8. Explore the Dragonfly Maze:
- Lose yourself (figuratively!) in the Dragonfly Maze near Bourton-on-the-Water. Solve the twists and turns of this living maze, surrounded by beautiful gardens. It's a fun and whimsical experience for all ages.
9. Enjoy the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway:
- Climb aboard the vintage steam trains of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. Journey through scenic landscapes, passing charming villages and rolling hills. It's a nostalgic trip back in time.
10. Discover Westonbirt Arboretum:
- Explore the Westonbirt Arboretum, home to thousands of tree species. Wander through colorful displays, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the changing seasons. It's a peaceful escape for nature enthusiasts.
