Twyning is a compact riverside parish in the borough of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, sitting on the north bank of the River Avon where the low-lying floodplain opens towards the larger River Severn. Its name reflects that riverside setting and the village retains a historic core with a medieval church, traditional inns and a green, while moorings and river walks make it a popular spot for boating and scenic strolls.
Today the area is largely residential, with many people commuting into nearby centres such as Gloucester and Cheltenham, but it still has a strong community feel - village events, a hall and local clubs are active - and the riverside location gives both a quiet rural character and an attraction for visitors exploring the Severn and Avon corridors.
