Living and working in Gloucestershire

Enchanting Cotswold villages, picturesque countryside backdrops, and a never-ending selection of exciting days out, attractions and events; Gloucestershire really does have something for everyone.

Good connections

Gloucestershire is home to three main landscape areas including a large part of the Cotswolds, the Royal Forest of Dean and the Severn Vale. If you enjoy peace and tranquillity with beautiful views of the countryside these areas are the ideal place for you.

You can also enjoy the hustle and bustle of city life, or take the opportunity to visit larger cities for events and days out, as Gloucestershire offers easy links to Bristol, Birmingham and Cardiff through the M5 and beyond with the M4 only 40 minutes away.

Housing market

In Gloucestershire, your money may go further when buying a house. The county is made up of six districts whereby house prices vary; Gloucester, Cheltenham, Forest of Dean, Stroud, Tewkesbury and the Cotswolds. But no matter where you live in the county, you aren’t too far from the hustle and bustle of a town or city and only a stone’s throw away from the great outdoors.

Schools

We have a higher than average amount of highly rated schools, with nearly 90% of Primary Schools and nearly 80% of Secondary Schools rated “Good” or “Outstanding” by Ofsted.

You can find more information about Gloucestershire from the Visit Gloucestershire website, or discover more about each of the districts on the Visit Gloucestershire Partnership website.
