GLOUCESTER CITY CENTRE & Historic Docks | Walking Tour (Filmed In 4K)

GLOUCESTER | Tour of Gloucester Docks and City Centre
We're in the historic city of Gloucester today, famous for it's cathedral and quays area. We're going to have a city centre walking tour to see the tourist attractions, shops, pubs, restaurants, and historic locations. Let's explore Gloucester!

Gloucester offers a rich blend of history, stunning medieval architecture, and revitalized waterside life, making it a compelling destination in the South West of England. The city is dominated by the magnificent Gloucester Cathedral, a must-visit for its remarkable Norman and Gothic styles. Visitors can marvel at the fan-vaulted cloisters, famously used as a filming location for the Harry Potter films, and seek out the tomb of King Edward II. The Cathedral also holds the Great East Window, once the largest stained glass window in the world, showcasing centuries of historical and religious artistry.

A short walk from the historic centre, the Gloucester Docks represent a successful urban renewal, transforming Britain's most inland port into a vibrant leisure hub. The Victorian-era warehouses, once packed with grain, now house the Gloucester Quays designer outlet, numerous waterfront restaurants, and the engaging National Waterways Museum. This area is perfect for a relaxing stroll alongside the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, where you can admire historic tall ships and barges, or even try out paddleboarding. The docks also host popular events throughout the year, including the spectacular Gloucester Tall Ships Festival.

Beyond its major landmarks, Gloucester's history is full of quirky and fascinating details. The city’s roots trace back to a Roman settlement and it was even the location where William the Conqueror first planned the Domesday Book. Literary fans can visit The House of the Tailor of Gloucester, a charming museum and shop dedicated to Beatrix Potter’s personal favourite tale, which was inspired by a real local tailor. For a deeper look into the city's past, visitors can explore Roman remains in the Eastgate underground viewing chamber or visit the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, highlighting the area’s military heritage.
