Gloucester
Interesting
Situated on the left bank of the River Severn, Gloucester has many similarities to Cheltenham. Once a Roman town, the city is proud of its huge cathedral but also has a long industrial tradition as demonstrated by its redeveloped river port. An administrative, commercial and industrial centre, Gloucester has made huge efforts to become a thoroughly modern city. Despite this, certain districts have retained a feel of the past that was so beautifully evoked by Beatrix Potter in her story The Tailor of Gloucester.
