The Ariavall Sculptures

Highlight • Structure

No idea who these carved wooden statues represent, but they are impressive and beautiful. I named my bike "Rosinante"... but I haven't tried tilting at any windmills... yet!

View of the Malverns from Apperley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always worth coming through Apperley and Deerhurst instead of following the busy main road from Tewkesbury Road to Tirley. This view is just one of the rewards..

Tewkesbury Abbey and historic town centre

Highlight • Historical Site

Tewkesbury is a pretty medieval town in the Cotswolds set beside the River Severn. Perhaps the most famous attraction is Tewkesbury Abbey, which has dominated the town’s landscape for nearly 900 years. There is a wealth of historic buildings nestled within the characteristic streets, though. You also find plenty of places for food and drink, independent shops, galleries, and a good choice of accommodation.

Tewkesbury Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

Tewkesbury Abbey is a magnificent place of worship in the heart of town. The Grade I-listed building was originally founded as Benedictine Abbey in 1087. After the dissolution of the monasteries, it became the parish church. You can observe wonderful Norman architecture at the abbey and admire stained glass windows that have survived from the 15th century. The abbey grounds are a pleasant place to relax, too.
