Gloucestershire is a great place to go Christmas shopping whether you're looking for posh pressies, specialist items, delicious foodie treats or inexpensive stocking fillers.

Finding the perfect present is easy in Gloucestershire.

As well as the two main shopping centres of Cheltenham and Gloucester, there are market towns offering specialist shops and delicious local food and drink.

Stroud is the place to visit if you are looking for 'green' gifts - and its Made in Stroud shop is a showcase for the work of its many talented local artists and craftspeople.

Stow-on-the-Wold and Tetbury are Aladdin's caves for antique and curiosity hunters.

Tewkesbury, with its beautiful medieval buildings, is an atmospheric place to do your Christmas shopping with a range of gift shops including the Tewkesbury Abbey shop.
