GLOUCESTER: One day trip


Gloucester is a city in the English county of Gloucestershire, South West England, close to the Welsh border, and on the river Severn. This city began life as a Roman settlement for retired soldiers, built its wealth on profits from river trade and its reputation during a period of medieval piety.

The city center is based on a medieval cruciform pattern, with Northgate, Southgate, Eastgate and Westgate converging on The Cross in the center of the city.

SIGHTS

The main reason to visit Gloucester is to see its magnificent Gothic Cathedral; one of the cathedral's greatest treasures is the exquisite Great Cloister. Completed in 1367, it is located in the north of the city near the river. It is the burial place of King Edward II of England.

The Cathedral could also be interesting for you (or your children) because you might recognize the cloister from the first two Harry Potter movies: it was used in the corridor scenes at Hogwart's school. You can't miss it!
