Location

The village of Minsterworth is located on the A48 main road between Gloucester and Chepstow and is on the doorstep of the Royal Forest of Dean. It lies on the border of Gloucester on the north bank of the River Severn and is one of the best places to view the famous Severn Bore – an impressive tidal wave of water which works its way up the Severn Estuary over 25 miles between Awre and Gloucester – attracting hosts of spectators and extreme sports enthusiasts on a number of occasions every year. Head towards Westbury on Severn and you will find a butchers and also the Severn & Wye Smokery café, restaurant and foodstore. The small village of Minsterworth is claimed, by some, to be one of the longest as it stretches for several miles along the A48. The village also has a long history and was at one point owned by the rebellious Simon de Montfort 6th Earl of Leicester.  

However, if water is not your thing then there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the countryside with numerous trails available at nearby Forest of Dean to experience either on foot, by bike or on horseback. Meanwhile, more conventional entertainment and shopping options can be found in Gloucester at the ever-expanding Gloucester Quays which is less than 5 miles away with desirable Cheltenham slightly further away. 

There are excellent road links from Minsterworth to Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Chepstow. The M5 motorway provides links to Bristol and Birmingham. There are direct trains via Swindon or Bristol Parkway to London Paddington from Gloucester Station and International Airports at Bristol and Birmingham approximately 35 miles distant.
