Tetbury
The world-renowned town of Tetbury boasts a long history, and one of its main landmarks is the rectangular Market House located in the town center. Built in 1655 and supported by three rows of massive stone pillars, this Market House was originally designed as a trading place for wool and alpaca fleece, and it still serves as the town’s market venue.
Strolling through the town, you’ll find elegantly unique houses, many of which were built in the 17th century. The old cottages that once housed textile artisans showcase Tetbury’s prosperous history from centuries ago. Today, the town is filled with a variety of antique shops and independent high-end boutiques. Prince Charles even opened a shop here, selling products from his private estate and other carefully selected local specialties. It’s the perfect place to buy top-quality souvenirs for family and friends: aside from goods bearing the royal crest, the shop also offers Prince Charles’s favorite wines and spirits.
The town has a long-standing connection with the British royal family. It is not only the upbringing and residence of two British princes—Prince William and Prince Harry—but also the place where Princess Diana’s graceful presence remains a cherished memory for the townspeople.
