An Afternoon in Gloucester

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I first visited Gloucester twelve years ago, and it became a favourite place to visit. The city has a mix of interesting shops, a cathedral, docks, and other historical areas. Gloucester Cathedral is one of my top favourite cathedrals (along with Salisbury and Canterbury). I believe that the cathedral was used to film some of the scenes in Harry Potter. Another favourite area of mine are the Gloucester docks, which have been redeveloped since I last visited. I really enjoyed the large antique centre in one of the old warehouses, but this seems to be in the process of redevelopment now. Whether or not it will remain an antique shop is unknown to me. 

I've taken a few photographs of Gloucester, Gloucester Cathedral, and Gloucester Docks. I hope you enjoy these.

These clock figurines are on the side of a building in Gloucester, and they ring the bells at the appropriate times.

Gloucester Cathedral's cloisters are beautiful and highly detailed with intricate ceiling vaulting, stained glass, and decorative elements.
