Tewkesbury’s medieval centre is hemmed in by the Severn and the Avon, so nearly all modern development has gone east towards Ashchurch and junction 9 of the M5. That is where the business parks, distribution units, the long-established military vehicle depot and most of the new housing are located, and where the bulk of lorry traffic joins the A46.
Flooding is the other local factor. When the rivers come up, water spreads across low-lying roads and car parks, and it leaves a layer of silt behind once it drops. Clearing that from hard surfaces is a recurring job in some winters. The A38 runs north to south through the town, and the M50 leaves the M5 a short distance to the north.
Coverage in and around Tewkesbury
Alongside the town and Ashchurch, operators can normally reach Northway, Mitton, Bredon, Twyning, Tirley and the villages along the A38 towards Gloucester and the A46 towards Evesham. Everything depends on which vehicles are free on the day you need, so we confirm availability before anything is agreed.
