Gloucester's
pride is its cathedral, built by the Normans
and elaborated upon, in the 14th century,
with the addition of its fan-vaulted cloisters
and magnificent east window and, in the 15th,
with the addition of its tower and the Lady
Chapel. It houses several Royal tombs including
the superb monument to King Edward II. Sitting
amongst the delightful old-world charm of
the close, Gloucester Cathedral is considered
among the most beautiful buildings in Britain.
There are other fine churches dotted around
the city, as well as old monastic ruins which,
unlike the cathedral, did not survive the
dissolution of the monasteries. Gloucester
has a splendid pedestrianized centre with
a vast array of modern shopping available amongst
the tudor timber-framing which is still
visible along most of the main streets.
The place is particularly noted for its historic
pubs and the fine food and drink which they
serve.
Those looking for history will not
be disappointed by the city's eight museums,
while both adults and children alike will
marvel at Beatrix Potter's 'Tale of the Tailor
of Gloucester' set out in the old man's original
shop. Recent additions to the city's urban
landscape have included a collection of municipal
artwork, of both a practical and aesthetic
nature.
