Gloucester – 21st March 2011

Gloucester Cathedral: This 900-year-old Norman Cathedral is the centre point of the City and has a number of Royal connections as well as being one of Europe's enduring architectural beauties.  Visit the Cathedral and see the world's first fan-vaulted Cloister.

Gloucester dock:  The collection of warehouses within the docks owe their existence to the corn trade of the nineteenth century when huge quantities of wheat, oats , barley and maize were shipped into the port from Ireland, Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.  These warehouses are still visable in their entirety today.
