Gloucestershire’s lively market towns, charming villages, and historic cities are all attractions for people who want to move to or visit the county. Gloucester, with its grand Norman cathedral and Roman heritage, has all the usual city amenities while boasting a large under-25 population. Countryside makes up the vast majority of Gloucestershire.
