You can rent your car or van from the Europcar rental office which is on Hempsted Lane near the Gloucester Quays shopping centre and opposite Sainsbury’s. It is about two miles from the bus and train stations.
Gloucester has an impressive cathedral with a Norman nave, a Gothic vaulted ceiling and beautiful medieval stained-glass windows. Gloucester became an important inland port with the building of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal in the nineteenth century. The area is now an upmarket residential area with the Gloucester Quays Mall which offers great shopping, cinemas and eating out. Some of the other Victorian warehouses have been turned into museums. Park your Europcar car or van and walk alongside the canal which passes through beautiful countryside.
Just north of Gloucester, Wallsworth Hall contains a wonderful collection of art inspired by nature. It also has workshops for children during the holidays, a sculpture garden, and a coffee shop.
On the north side of Gloucester airport, you will find the Jet Age Museum. After the Second World War there was an aviation boom to which Gloucestershire firms contributed. The museum has some fine examples of Gloster Aircraft Company jets. A must for aviation fans.
The River Severn has a phenomenon known as the Severn bore which happens twice a day on 130 days of the year. Some surfers attempt to catch it, or you can watch it from alongside. It happens between Stonebench and Maisemore Weir.
For a day at the races or stylish shopping check out Cheltenham.
Gloucester is above all a great base for driving to areas of outstanding beauty. The Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley are close. Hay on Wye has a festival and bookshops. And the Cotswolds Hills are perfect for visiting unspoilt villages and historical market towns.
