About Innsworth & Imjin Barracks

Innsworth is in a semi-urban location four miles from Historic Gloucester and the Spa town of Cheltenham; both offer a good range of shops and facilities including theatres, cinema and sporting venues. Cardiff, Bristol and Birmingham can be reached within an hours drive. There is easy access to Cotswold Villages, The Forest of Dean or The Malvern Hills. You should never be stuck for something to do or places to visit in this area.

The Station has an excellent gym which has a five a side football pitch, badminton and basketball courts, free weights and aerobic machines. The gym has sauna and sun bed facilities. There are 4 squash courts, and flood lit tennis courts and astro turf pitch. The sports pitches have their own pavilion. There are limited activities for the children because so much is available locally but the community centre hosts Scouts, Cubs, Beavers, Brownies, Rainbows, parents & toddlers and the crèche.
