Gloucester is a historic city, known for its rich heritage. The city dates back to Roman times, originally established as a fort in AD 97. City highlights include the stunning Gloucester Cathedral, and its bustling docks area – once the hub of the city’s maritime heritage, and now home to shops and restaurants.
Gloucester occupies a lovely location along the River Severn and is also famous for its quirky local tradition: the annual Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling event, taking place in May, on the spring bank holiday.
So, with its blend of history, culture and modern development, Gloucester offers much to explore, from its Roman roots to its contemporary attractions.
