Ok, so my first stop I've been meaning to share with you for some time is the Historical Gloucester Docks, Woohoo! (don't jump all at once). I know I know, it's not a place you will find on most or any Top 10 List of places to visit in the UK, nonetheless, for anyone that does happen to be within the vicinity or passing by, throw in an outlet, restaurants, cafes, bars, museums and a cinema, well what's not to see.
Gloucester itself is a place I have regularly visited for years as I have family there and sadly like most small cities and towns in the UK with the decline of the local high street, you're not left with much apart from pound stores and coffee shops. Thankfully, with the continued regeneration of the Gloucester docks area, you get to experience the best of both worlds old vs new.
Below are some of my photos from my day there with family, I won't go into the history of the docks here only because there is much more knowledgeable and informative websites online, of which i will link a few below for anyone that is interested, along with other useful links. Enjoy x
Ending our cold wintery walk with coffee & victoria sponge cake is the one.
My face doesn't say it though, obvs!
