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.)
