Be sure to stay for Evensong at Gloucester Cathedral. The stone walls reverberate with the melodious sounds of the men and boys' choir. We also enjoyed a guided tour and found the history fascinating.

The Cathedral has plenty to offer from those who want to see it's modern association with the Harry Potter films to those who was to see its ancient connections. The grounds are well kept and you are free to walk around the magnificent building to discover it beauty. I think tours are also available.

The cathedral is a fantastic destination for anyone visiting Gloucester. A focal point across the city it draws many and disappoints few. Set in the beautiful westgate quarter of the city you can wander the grounds, enjoy your visit to the cathedral itself and pop into the tea shop for refreshments. Culture and Harry Potter...one size really does fit all!

You must visit the cathedral if you're in the city centre, or even if you're visiting the Quays retail outlet. Entry is free (though donations welcome of course) and there is much of historical significance to see.

Gloucester Cathedral is surely one of the UK's most splendid. The cloister masonry alone is worth going to see, while the fantastic interiors are an added bonus.
