Facts and Information about Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire is a ceremonial and administrative county in southwest England. The county comprises part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the flat fertile valley of the River Severn, and the entire of the Forest of Dean.

The county town is Gloucester, and other principle towns include Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, and Tewkesbury. Present-day Gloucestershire borders the preserved county of Gwent in Wales, and in England the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, and Wiltshire (including Swindon). The official postal abbreviation is "Glos.", rather than the frequently used but erroneous "Gloucs." or "Glouc.".

Historically, Gloucestershire has also included Bristol, but this has not been considered part of Gloucestershire since 1373. The area of South Gloucestershire was made part of the administrative County of Avon in 1974. Upon the abolition of Avon in 1996, it became a unitary authority, and returned to Gloucestershire for ceremonial purposes.
