Overview
Gloucester Cathedral, more than 1,300 years old and familiar to many visitors as a Harry Potter filming location, sits at the heart of most group itineraries here, and its compact, walkable city centre makes it easy to combine with a stop at the historic Docks - the most inland port in the country, now home to the National Waterways Museum and the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum among converted Victorian warehouses. Free coach parking is available at Westgate Street, a short walk from both the Cathedral and the Docks, which keeps group logistics simple. We handle coach and minibus hire for school trips, heritage tours, corporate travel and private group bookings, including transfers to and from the Docks' museums and canal boat trips on the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. The city is close to Cheltenham and Bristol, and sits within the Cotswolds' southern edge, making it a natural stop for groups touring the wider region. Gloucester is about 114 miles from London, roughly two and a half hours by road.
