3About The Island
The Island forms part of Gloucester's western suburbs in the Severn valley, where the Cotswolds begin their gentle rise eastward. The A40 provides direct access from the M5, whilst the A417 and A38 serve local traffic between Gloucester and surrounding market towns. With approximately 90 EV charging points nearby and Gloucestershire Airport close at hand, it's well-connected for modern travel. The area's crown jewel remains Sandford Parks Lido, a 1930s Art Deco outdoor pool that's been delighting swimmers for nearly a century.
