Tetbury Attractions
Tetbury was originally the site of a hill fort which was later taken by the Romans. It served as a wool and yarn manufacturing center during the Middle Ages, taking advantage of the abundance of Cotswold hill sheep. The town of Tebury still has fine period architecture, including many cottages. There are also numerous specialty shops and markets.

The carefully restored Close Hotel in Tetbury was once the home of Sir Thomas Estcourt, a wealthy wool merchant. Over 400 years old, it is a splendid example of a stone built Cotswold manor house.
