The Gloucester Docks would once have been a bustling hub for transporting goods to and from Gloucester along the River Severn. Today, the Victorian warehouses have been transformed into restaurants, pubs and shops.

You can learn more about the area's history at the National Waterways Museum. For more information about the docks, visit: gloucesterdocks.me.uk.
