Car Hire Tewkesbury

Tewkesbury in the north of Gloucestershire is a town that sits at the confluence of the rivers Avon and Severn. The town has great road links with the M5 motorway running close by as well as the A46. As such, it is a brilliant destination to take advantage of a Budget hire car and tour the surrounding area including the marvellous Gloucester countryside and the Cotswolds. The town has some wonderful examples of Tudor housing and its close proximity to Gloucester places it in the heart of this beautiful part of the English Countryside. If you would like to tour the countryside it may be worth hiring a GPS satellite navigation from Budget when you book your hire car. This device will make navigation easy allowing you to focus on enjoying your trip.

The major attraction in Tewkesbury is the Abbey which is regarded to be the second largest parish church in the country. This former Benedictine monastery is a great example of Norman architecture and also contains a great array of church monuments. These monuments include tomb effigies of notable Tewkesbury residents including the grave of Edward of Westminster, the son of King Henry VI and the last of the Lancastrian line. His body lies in the church due its close proximity to the battlefield where he fell; the Battle of Tewkesbury was during the wars of the roses. For those with a love of history, there is a re-enactment of this pivotal battle each July. The re-enactment forms part of the Tewkesbury Medieval Festival, the largest of its kind in Europe.

Also nearby is Berkeley Castle, constructed in the twelfth century. The castle was principally constructed as a border castle to protect England from Welsh uprisings. However the castle has had a chequered history and is regarded as the scene of the imprisonment of King Edward II and his eventual murder. The castle has remained as an impressive Norman stronghold and has been continuously inhabited for centuries; today it is still inhabited by the Berkeley family. Despite this inhabitation it is possible to hire the castle for business conferences and weddings making it a startlingly original choice. For those travelling on business, be sure to look at Budget's specialist business offers that ensure you get a great deal and great service.
