The Gloucester Docks would once have been a bustling hub for transporting goods to and from Gloucester along the River Severn. Today, the Victorian warehouses have been transformed into restaurants, pubs and shops.

You can learn more about the area's history at the National Waterways Museum. For more information about the docks, visit: gloucesterdocks.me.uk.

Hiking

This is a mecca for lovers of coffee, cake and waterside stops. If you happen upon this beautiful place on the first weekend of the month they have a craft market on so you’ll find even more fuel options!

Hiking

Fine place to visit, but it is private and the security guards can get a bit excited about cameras.
