Gloucester is a city and district in southwest England, the county city of Gloucestershire. Gloucester lies close to the Welsh border, on the River Severn, between the Cotswolds to the east and the Forest of Dean to the southwest.
Gloucester was founded in AD 97 by the Romans under Emperor Nerva as Colonia Glevum Nervensis, and was granted its first charter in 1155 by King Henry II. Economically, the city is dominated by the service industries, and has a strong financial and business sector, and historically was prominent in the aerospace industry.
Gloucester is located on the eastern bank of the River Severn, sheltered by the Cotswolds to the east, while the Forest of Dean and the Malvern Hills rise to the west and north, respectively. Gloucester is a port, linked via the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal which runs from Gloucester's docks to the Severn Estuary, allowing larger ships to reach the docks than would be possible on the tidal reaches of the river itself, which go well north of the city to Haw Bridge. The wharfs, warehouses and the docks themselves fell into disrepair until their renovation in the 1980s. They now form a public open space. Some warehouses now house the Gloucester Waterways Museum, others were converted into residential flats, shops and bars. Additionally, the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum is located in the Custom House. Next to the museum is Gloucester Yacht Club. The port still houses the most inland RNLI lifeboat in the United Kingdom.
Gloucester is made up of a variety of neighbourhoods, some of which correspond to electoral divisions of the City Council.

Gloucester is served by the M5 motorway, which runs to the east of the city. Until the construction of the Severn Bridge in 1966, Gloucester was the lowest bridging point on the river and hence was an important settlement on the route between London and South Wales. Gloucester railway station has frequent trains to London Paddington, Reading, Bristol, Cardiff Central, Nottingham and Birmingham.

Places to see in ( Painswick - UK )
Painswick is a town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. Originally the town grew on the wool trade, but it is now best known for its parish church's yew trees and the local Rococo Garden. The town is mainly constructed of locally quarried Cotswold stone. Many of the buildings feature south-facing attic rooms once used as weavers' workshops. Painswick stands on a hill in the Stroud district, overlooking one of the Five Valleys. Its narrow streets and traditional architecture make it the epitome of the English village.
There is evidence of settlement in the area as long ago as the Iron Age. This can be seen in the defensive earthworks atop nearby Painswick Beacon, which has wide views across the Severn Vale. The local monastery, Prinknash Abbey, was established in the 11th century. Painswick itself first appears in historical records in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Wiche, 'dairy-farm'. It continues to appear by this name into the thirteenth century. The form Painswik first appears in 1237, but must originate in the name of an earlier lord of the manor, Pain Fitzjohn (d. 1137). Pain was a common Anglo-Norman name (itself originating in paiën, Latin paganus, 'heathen').
During the first English Civil War (1642–45) Gloucester was a Parliamentarian stronghold of some strategic importance. Consequently, it was surrounded by forces loyal to the King. After the siege of Gloucester was broken on 5 September 1643, the Royalist army, which had been surrounding the city, encamped overnight at Painswick, with the King staying at Court House. Some damage was caused by the troops and a scar from two small cannonballs can still be seen on the tower of St. Mary's parish church.
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary is a Grade I listed building. A priest in Painswick is noted in the Domesday Book and so it is assumed that there was also a church here at that time. Evidence suggests that it was built between 1042 and 1066 by Ernesi, a rich Anglo Saxon thegn who was then Lord of the Manor.
In the churchyard Painswick has a fine collection of chest tombs and monuments from the early 17th century onwards, carved in local stone by local craftsmen. The oldest tomb, with fossils on the top, is of William Loveday, Yeoman, dated 1623. Clifton-Taylor describes the churchyard, with its tombs and yews, as the grandest churchyard in England.

Visiting Gloucestershire England
Visiting Gloucestershire in England can be a surprisingly fun thing to do. Gloucestershire is a historic county mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the 10th century, though the areas of Winchcombe and the Forest of Dean were not added until the late 11th century. Gloucestershire originally included the small town of Bristol. The local rural community moved to the port city, (as Bristol was to become) and Bristols population growth accelerated during the industrial revolution. Here are some things to do and see while visiting Gloucestershire, England:
Cheese Rolling: Britain is a treasure chest of old customs and Gloucester is no exception. Where else can you see people throwing themselves down a near vertical hill to catch a large Double Gloucester Cheese. Situated on Coopers Hill, a few miles from central Gloucester, the Cheese Roll takes place every May Bank Holiday. It is a very dangerous pastime and very dangerous = great fun!. This is the original extreme sport and it attracts TV crews from all over the world!
Prinknash Abbey: Situated in near the village of Cranham, (very close to the foot of the Cheese Roll!), is the beautiful Prinknash Abbey. Still inhabited by monks and with a working pottery it attracts many visitors from the UK and abroad. It also has a bird park and picnic area as well as a fabulous gift shop. Very tranquil and very interesting.
Gloucester Historic Docks: Right in the centre of the city is the fabulous Victorian docks. Now it is home to many businesses including retail outlets, bars and museums. Gloucester Waterways Museum details life on the waterways with photos and artefacts and interactive computer features. Outside there are a steam dredger, a barge a tugboat and several narrow boats all helping paint the picture. You can also take river cruises from the museum.
The Docks are also home to the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum telling the story of both the Gloucester Regiment and the Hussars.
Gloucester Antique Centre is also situated here. A Fascinating place where you can browse or haggle on all things old from ceramics, clocks and watches, jewellery, glassware furniture, books etc etc. The list is endless.
Gloucester Quays is a discount designer outlet centre with many bargains to be had!
If you are visiting on a Saturday look out for the model boat club sailing every sort of vessel including Warships, paddle boats and Submarines.
Sudely Castle: Home to the families of Lord and Lady Ashcombe and Henry and Mollie Dent-Brocklehurst, Sudely Castle is a fantastic day out.
Learn the history of this wonderful medieval site and explore the award winning gardens. There is also an adventure park for the more energetic visitor and a Pheasantry. Visit St Marys church where Katherine Parr lies buried and if you are getting married you may want to consider Sudely as the venue for your big day.
With numerous exhibitions and acres of grounds Sudely Castle is a great day out.

Quarr Abbey Visit 2012
I visited my relation Brother Francis ( Ray Verry ) at Quarr Abbey in 2012. He used to be the Abbey's Procurator. Born 1921 & died March 9th 2018. I used to know the area around the Abbey in my childhood, around the 1950s sadly it has changed beyond recognition since the ferry terminal cleared so much. Ray & I share a blood line of the VERRY family from long ago living in The Forest of Dean area.

Where to go on a date in Gloucester. Where to date in this Cotswold city.
Hello, and welcome to another in our series of dating venue videos, brought to you by Love Services, providing online dating since 2005.
If you live in the city of Gloucester, this video might provide you with some much needed inspiration to help choose a venue for a first, or subsequent date.
Having spent some time online, getting to know each other, you might have developed an idea of your prospective date's interests.
So, with those preferences in mind, let’s look at some suggestions in Gloucester, which might be suitable for two people who prefer a quiet and relaxing place to get together.
Within the city there's the Barnwood Arboretum Park and Nature Reserve, with its gardens and pond.
Further on to the south east of the city, about 9 miles out, there's the Prinknash Bird and Deer Park, which contains a host of wildlife attractions and is open all the year around. The park is a few miles away from Prinknash Abbey, which is open to visitors and has a cafe and shop on site.
So there are several options for an outdoor date, a picnic, or simply taking advantage of the refreshments on offer at these locations.
If you would prefer to make the most of the main tourist attractions in Gloucester itself, then there are many options in this historic city.
Gloucester was a Roman town, so there is about 2,000 years of history to drawn upon, and several museums which explain some of it.
These include Gloucester Waterways Museum, the Gloucester Folk Museum and, of course, the world-famous and Gothic Gloucester Cathedral, in which you'll find the tomb of King Edward the Second.
A stroll through many central areas of the city will reveal impressive and historic architectural examples from both the Medieval and Tudor periods.
Fancy a glass of wine? How about a visit to a local vineyard?
About 30 minutes by car to the north west of the city is the Three Choirs Vineyard.
As well as wine tasting tours, there's a brasserie and a hotel, so it has everything for a couple who might want to make a day and a night of it.
Back to the city, and there are, of course, plenty of pubs and restaurants.
These include; the Brewhouse & Kitchen, on the restored Victorian quayside, The Dick Whittington Tavern in Westgate Street, possibly opened in honour of the former Lord Mayor of London, and Café René, a steakhouse and grill in Southgate Street.
For restaurants, there's; Bill's Gloucester Quays Restaurant, the Sebz Cafe Tapas Restaurant in Northgate Street, and The Med, another restaurant in the quayside area.
Gloucester is another of England's cathedral cities that has much to offer the visitor and locals alike. With a long history, the restored quayside areas, and the open country surrounding it, a couple should not have any difficulty finding somewhere to spend a day together.
