Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Tewkesbury. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll Gallivant with tour producer Owen Bowles through the tiny Tudor town that was once home to 101 pubs.

On this tour, I’ll tell you how the industrial revolution by-passed the town, leaving us with over 350 listed buildings of special architectural and historical interest today, many of them timber-framed Tudor houses. You’ll learn why Tewkesbury once was home to 101 pubs. Hear the fate of the Lancastrian lords who claimed sanctuary in the abbey after the Battle of Tewkesbury and learn about the turbulent religious history of England and how it ties into this lovely little medieval town.

You'll also discover where you can find the largest number of exquisitely decorated medieval tombs outside of London, and why Tewkesbury Abbey has been described as ‘the Westminster Abbey of the Feudal Baronage.' Also, find out how the town’s mustard balls became nationally famous!
