Gloucester is one of the top draws in England’s West Country. Gloucester Cathedral has been a fixture on the city’s skyline for centuries. The magnificent cathedral dates from the 11th century and is the resting place of King Edward II. Other historic attractions include St. Michael’s Tower, the 12th-century parish church of St. Mary de Lode, and the Great Witcombe Roman Villa Remains. Having been redeveloped in recent years, Gloucester Quays in the Docks quarter is a popular shopping and entertainment destination. The quarter is home to the National Waterways Museum Gloucester, which is housed in a former Victorian-era warehouse. Popular restaurants serving dishes from around the world are also found throughout the Docks.

With the convenience of a rental car, Gloucester is at the doorstep to many of the South West of England’s most popular destinations. To the west of the city is the Forest of Dean. This ancient woodland and royal hunting ground is one of the most important forests remaining in the United Kingdom. Day trip options from Gloucester include Birmingham, Warwick, Bristol and Oxford. South Wales is also a short drive away, including the picture-perfect towns of Monmouth and Tintern. The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is just over an hour away, via the A40 or the M5 and M4.

Renting a vehicle gives you the ability to experience more of Gloucestershire and see all that this historic county has to offer. The historic spa town of Cheltenham is about 20 minutes to the northeast, via the A40 road, while the beautiful market town of Cirencester is a half hour’s drive to the south-east, along the A417. Gloucester is the main gateway to the Cotswolds, a stunning rural wonderland with scenic hills and picturesque towns. It has some of the prettiest stone villages in England, including Burton-on-the-Water. The Cotswolds also has many cultural and historic attractions, including Chastleton House and Berkeley Castle.

Gloucester has plenty of parking options close to the city center and major attractions, including Gloucester Cathedral and the Docks. Road parking is available close to the city center in addition to pay-and-display car parks in the city center. In addition to private car parks, there are public parking facilities operated by Gloucester City Council that offer pay and display and mobile payment options.

Driving in rural areas such as the Cotswolds requires special care, especially on narrow country roads where only one vehicle may be able to pass at a time. Cows often stand or lie on the road, especially at night. The Cotswolds is a popular destination during summer months and sunny bank holiday weekends, so planning ahead will help you avoid traffic and crowded car parks.
