Welcome to our site, we hope that you find the pages useful and informative.

 

We have called our site 'Abbey Views' as that is the name of the Information Leaflet which we deliver on a regular basis to over 4,000 homes in our area.

 

If you can help deliver a few Abbey Views near to your home, please get in touch with one of us.


Abbey Ward, is a local Government ward of Gloucester and
comprises principally of the suburbs of Abbeydale and Abbeymead.
Abbeydale and Abbeymead are about 25 years old, and this part of Gloucester is still growing.
The pre fix 'Abbey' was chosen because of the proximity to the Benedictine Abbey of Prinknash, which is just up the road, and was settled on after the local evening paper 'The Citizen' ran a competition to find the most suitable name for this new part of Gloucester.

 

Prinknash Abbey makes world famous incense and is a popular tourist attraction.
(The Abbey Church is open daily, with regular Services throughout the day.)
