Gloucester 6 May 2012

On our way, we stopped off at Gloucester to have a look around. We found the Beatrix Potter shop where Beatrix Potter created one of her most loved characters here (The Tailor of Gloucester). The shop and museum, housed the same building that inspired the very story and is used in the illustrations. We made our way around Gloucester and headed past the cathedral and down past the marina. The former docks are a complete example of a Victorian port. We really enjoyed Gloucester and it had more to offer than we expected!
