Located in the South-West of England and bordered by Oxfordshire to the East, Bristol and Somerset to the South-West, Herefordshire to the North-West, Warwickshire to the North-East and Worcestershire to the North you will find the Glorious County of Gloucestershire. Bisected by the mighty River Severn and encompassing several areas of Natural Outstanding Beauty including parts of the scenic Cotswolds, the County of Gloucestershire has a lot to offer not just its local population but the hundreds and thousands of visitors that descend on the area every year from all over the world. The best way to travel the hi-ways and by-ways of this wonderful County in style and experience everything Glorious Gloucestershire has to offer is to use the professional Services of a specialist Vehicle Hire Company such as TL Camper Hire who are a local, experienced, Camper Van Hire Gloucestershire, family-run company. Covering an extensive area of approximately 3,150 square kilometres (1,220 square miles) the County is predominantly rural and has a population of only just over 916,000 local inhabitants, many of whom live in Gloucester City itself as well as the popular towns of Cheltenham, Stroud and Yate.
With three, classic Camper Vans to choose from, (fondly known as Claude, Eric and Hector), and each one being fully-kitted out to cater for a maximum of four people and including a comprehensive Insurance Policy and complete Breakdown Cover, it’s no wonder these three, classic campers are incredibly popular.
Why the county appeals to retirees
Good travel connections are one reason many people choose Gloucestershire when they retire. The M5 gives easy access to the Midlands, the South West and the North, while the A417 and A419 link directly to the M4 for London and the South East. That makes it simple to stay in touch with family and friends elsewhere in the country.
The countryside is the other big draw. Much of the Cotswolds falls within the county, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with plenty of walks over rolling hills, and not all of them are demanding. Its picturesque towns and villages are full of tea shops and country pubs, ideal for a rest or simply watching the world go by.
Practical matters count as well. The county is served by two large hospitals, Cheltenham General and Gloucestershire Royal, which gives reassurance as healthcare needs change. Many retirees also look for more affordable homes than a country cottage, so they can release equity without taking on another mortgage.
