Tetbury
Tetbury is a haven for antiques enthusiasts. With over 30 antique shops, the town centre has earned an international reputation for its vast range of antiquities from almost every era and country.
There are many other shops though, selling a wide range of goods you might not expect to find on your typical high street. The Highgrove shop, owned by HRH Prince Charles, draws many visitors. It sells a range of gifts and products from the Duchy Originals range, including fresh vegetables from nearby farms. Several of the shops have earned a royal warrant and almost all are independently and locally-owned.
There are several tea shops, public houses and hotels, each of which serve tea, coffee, soft and alcoholic drinks. The traditional tea shops offer cream teas, light lunches or something more filling. Pubs in the centre of town include The Ormond, The Crown Inn and the Snooty Fox.
At the centre of Tetbury is the iconic Market House, which is built on several stone columns. The hall features the famous clock and dolphins, which have become Tetbury's emblem.
The town has a Museum at the bottom end of Long Street and there are displays about the town's history in St Mary's Church.
