[edit] Get in

[edit] By car

Tewkesbury is easily accessible from the M50, M5 and the A38, which is the main trunk road through the town. Visitors from South Wales should use the M50, and get off at Junction 1, following the A38 into Tewkesbury. Visitors from the North or South should use the M5 motorway and leave at Junction 9. Tewkesbury is approximately 2 miles west of the junction and is well signposted from here.

[edit] By train

Tewkesbury is served by the Ashchurch for Tewkesbury railway station, which is approximately 3 miles to the east of the town centre. Trains are infrequent and a bus service linking the station to the town centre has been withdrawn, so visitors arriving by train to Ashchurch for Tewkesbury station will need to book a taxi in advance. If you are travelling by train, you should look at trains to Cheltenham Spa, as these are more frequent and Cheltenham has regular bus services to Tewkesbury.

[edit] By bus

Buses serve Tewkesbury from many neighbouring towns and cities. There are regular services from Gloucester and Cheltenham and occasional services from Worcester. Bus services also link Tewkesbury with Ledbury, Pershore, Evesham, Upton upon Severn and Hereford. Tewkesbury Bus Timetables

[edit] Get around

Tewkesbury is a fairly small town and very flat, and is therefore best explored on foot. There are many cycle routes throughout the town, but no bicycle hire.
