Welcome to Gloucester

Gloucester is probably most famous for its historic docks and impressive cathedral. Gloucester Docks is one of the UK’s most inland docks, and are home to 15 Victorian dock buildings, Mariner’s Chapel, a working dry dock where boat repairs are still made, tall ships, canal boats and the odd yacht or two.

The city has also acted as the setting for one of Beatrix Potter’s well-loved stories, The Tailor Of Gloucester, which was inspired by a visit to the city.

Gloucester Cathedral has also featured as a film set for various Harry Potter movies. To walk in the footsteps of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, you’ll need to visit the cloisters.

Gloucester is also located a stone’s throw from the Cotswolds, which is scattered with traditional English villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Castle Combe.
