meridian_roseWe visited Gloucester for the first time. The historic docks (and waterways museum), some of the retail outlet centre, and the cathedral. There wasn't time to visit everything and I needed much longer at the cathedral (and more money and time to do some of the tours); we didn't get near the main museum, barely touched the main shopping area, and didn't go on a boat trip or go into the Soldiers Museum.
The cathedral has a long history as a place of worship, has the tomb of King Edward II, and featured in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
I'd love to visit the city again. It was a pleasant visit, overall clean and welcoming, with some great sights to see including some public art such as The Candle image, info. We parked near the docks and it was a very short walk to the Waterways Museum, and only 10 minutes to the city centre, 15 or so to the cathedral.
I took a lot of photos and here's just a few made into a collage.
