Attractions In Gloucester - What To Do When You Visit Gloucester   by Simon Haughtone

Featured Gloucester Hotels
The town of Gloucester has been well established for many centuries and is renowned throughout the world for the rhythm and blues musical festival, which takes place each year. Also along with this, there are plenty of other Gloucester attractions that will keep one entertained on a visit to this town.

Located close to the Welsh border it provides not only the ideal base for exploring what the county of Gloucestershire has to offer. But also provides you with the perfect base to travel in to Wales and see what this part of Great Britain has to offer as well. However, below we look at some of the attractions that may interest you and which are located close to or in Gloucester itself.

1. Gloucester Cathedral - This is a place where people have come to worship for more than 1,300 years now. The architecture of the building will leave you stunned and its cloisters are considered to be by many one of the architectural gems of England. In recent years, this building has been used as the set when the Harry Potter films have been made.

This area is extremely popular not just with visitors but those who reside in Gloucester as well. There is plenty of space to walk, have a picnic and for the kid's to play in. This park comes alive during the summer as many festivals are held within it.

However, this park is only suitable for children aged between 2 and 10. But as well as all the activities that the park has to offer there are animals, which they can spend time with.
