Tetbury sits on the site of an ancient hill fort in the southern Cotswolds, occupying a high point where the rolling hills meet the flatter lands of the Severn Vale. It is a town built on the historical wealth of the medieval wool trade, evidenced by the broad Chipping Steps and the distinctive 17th-century pillared Market House that remains the town’s geographical heart. Geographically, it is bordered by the Highgrove estate to the south and the sprawling woodland of Westonbirt Arboretum to the west, giving the town a sense of being bracketed by significant green spaces. While it has a reputation for its high concentration of independent antique shops and royal connections, the practical layout of the town is compact and walkable, with narrow "chippings" (lanes) branching off the main thoroughfare. Drainage and local geography are defined by its position on a limestone plateau, and the town serves as a quiet but well-connected hub for the surrounding Gloucestershire farming parishes.
