From Romans to Victorians - taking you on a fascinating journey into the past...

Gloucester was founded in AD97 and some of its ancient Roman heritage can still be seen today. Since then it has grown into a bustling city with a rich historic past.

The focal point of the City has to be the beautiful Cathedral, which is steeped in over a thousand years of history. Its ‘Great East Window’ is one of the finest examples of English medieval stained glass, while its ‘Cloisters’ have been famously featured in the Harry Potter films.

The heart of the City is home to two excellent shopping centres, ‘King’s Walk’ and ‘The Eastgate’ - home to many top name stores.

Places of interest include the City Museum & Art Gallery and the Folk Museum, both offering a diverse range of displays and unique exhibitions. You’ll also find Gloucester Guildhall - a fantastic venue offering music, theatre, cinema, comedy, workshops and more!

A short walk will take you to the famous Docks. The now renovated Victorian warehouses served what was once the most inland port in Britain.

If you enjoy activities, then why not try karting at JDR Karting or zap your way around the colourful lasertag arena.

The track features high-speed banking corners and tarmac surface for exhilarating highspeed racing. There is ample viewing available which is free for spectators. Full training and equipment is included.

There’s also a separate junior track for 4 - 11 year olds - great fun for birthday parties.

The Darklight Lasertag arena has been uniquely designed just for the centre and uses the best equipment available. It can accommodate ages from children to adults, with up to 34 players in the arena at any one time.

The Segway Experience is new!

Master the spaceage Ninebot machines within minutes and try your skills around the track with fun obstacles and more.

Often referred to as the ‘Queen of Forests’, the Forest of Dean is one of England’s few remaining ancient forests covering over 27,000 acres of woodland. Designated a National Forest Park in 1938, it is bordered by the River Severn and the River Wye, giving rise to its stunning landscapes and spectacular scenery.

The seasonal changes showcase a vast array of flora and fauna with ever-changing colours. Bluebells in spring, lush green summers, spectacular autumns and the cool frosts of winter. With so much to see and do all year round it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.

For young and old, families and groups, the Forest of Dean has a wealth of visitor attractions to enjoy. Take a trip into the mysterious Puzzlewood where scenes of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ were filmed. Enjoy a journey on the Dean Forest Railway, visit the Dean Heritage Centre which tells the story of Forest life in times gone by, or go underground at Clearwell Caves.

There are so many activities to enjoy too - take your pick from mountain biking, canoeing, high ropes and zip wires, segways, caving, bushcraft, archery and brewery tours. With so much to do, it’s just one big playground waiting to be explored!

Puzzlewood is a magical, ancient woodland in the beautiful Forest of Dean.

You can explore a mile and a half of pathways, winding through deep gulleys of mossy rocks, over wooden bridges and through fantastic tree and rock formations. It’s an enchanting place and has an atmosphere quite unlike any other wood. JRR Tolkien is reputed to have taken his inspiration for the fabled forests of Middle Earth from Puzzlewood, and it is easy to see why.

THE FOREST OF DEAN & WYE VALLEY

The Forest’s former prison transformed!

Once you enter the jail, through where the old court house once stood, you’ll come face to face with an extraordinary Aladdin’s Cave of curiosities.

It’s an intriguing collection which includes many rare and historically significant exhibit items including the hangman’s noose that was used on the man they couldn’t hang John ‘Babbacombe’ Lee. Also on display is the skull of the last man in Britain to be gibbeted, then hung, drawn and quartered!

As you wander through the jail you’ll find wall to wall galleries of authentic and vintage signed photographs and ephemera from some of the world’s most notorious villains and criminals, and iconic celebrity figures slated and brought to heal by the tabloid newspapers.

There are strange looking creatures on show too, including the products of Victorian taxidermy that were exhibited in this era. They include a six-legged piglet, a kitten with five legs, a threeeyed puppy with two mouths, an eight-legged lamb with one head and four ears and a ten foot long man-eating crocodile, and various other beasts of the jungle too.

The Jail is also home to the largest single collection of Quadrophenia memorabilia in the world and includes the Vespa GS-Rally scooter that Sting (who played ‘Ace Face’) rode in the famous 1978 cult film, which was highly regarded as being one of the greatest British films of all times.

A Regency town full of fine architecture, shopping and famous festivals

Explore the Regency Spa town of Cheltenham, famous for its fine architecture, tree-lined Promenade, speciality shops, parks and gardens, numerous cafés, bars, bistros and restaurants and of course, the internationally acclaimed festivals and events which occur throughout the year.

Cheltenham has also become known as ‘the festival town of England’ with numerous festivals that attract thousands of visitors to the town throughout the year.

These include the National Hunt, Jazz, Music, Science, Cricket and Literature Festivals.

Cheltenham became a fashionable place to visit in 1790 following the discovery of the Spa waters, and a subsequent visit from King George III. The heritage of that time left a huge impression on the town, and this can still be seen and admired in the magnificent Regency buildings of Montpellier and Pittville. The town’s spa waters can still be tasted at The Pump Rooms in Pittville Park.

Cheltenham takes great pride in its beautiful parks and gardens and has won the prestigious accolade of ‘Britain in Bloom’ on several occasions. Take a stroll around the Imperial and Montpellier Gardens, or through Pittville and Sandford Park to appreciate the floral splendour for yourself.
