Spring is a great time to visit the historic city of Gloucester. As the weather starts to warm up, as well as the city itself there is plenty of beautiful surrounding countryside to explore. There are also plenty of great places to stay – from ancient Inns around the city to luxurious places like this spa breaks Gloucester based hotel /hatherleymanor.com/the-spa/ so there is something suited to everyone.
Of course, the cathedral is one of the most famous attractions in the city of Gloucester and the spring is a great time to admire the splendour of the building. As well as the beautiful Norman architecture on the outside, the interior is also very beautiful, and you can admire the stained glass windows and famous cloisters – and of course it was also a filming location in the Harry Potter films!
A stroll around Gloucester Docks is also a pleasant activity in the spring – the waterfront is bustling with bars and restaurants and there is also the Quays outlet shopping centre for bargain hunters. For peace and quiet by the water, you can walk down the canal and watch the many boats that are cruising along. There are also often weekend fayres and festivals in the Docks like the famous Tall Ships Festival.
Robinswood hill country park is a great place to go if you want to enjoy the outdoors – a great place for dog walks and family picnics you can also enjoy spectacular views from the top on a clear day.
