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.

Scotland Highlands Tour
Few places inspire the romantic and champion within everyone like the beautifully rugged Scottish Highlands. We obviously think that you should do your Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome, but that is your decision.
The Scottish Highlands are rich in ancient history and much more. This area is known for warrior poets, and legendary for humour and sport, a journey through each nook and cranny of the Highlands could never disappoint. Unfortunately, many of the most beautiful locales in this scenic region are remote, rural, and without easy accommodation. Having ones own place to stay, and with many comforts of home is the ideal way to see such a wondrous land. A Scotland Highlands Tour by motorhome is an excellent option for the self-guided traveller who wants to see it all.
When youre not relying on hotel check-in and check-out times, or on the open hours of local eateries, the entire landscape is open to your whim. So, instead of blustering through town upon town, region after region, why not linger? Really delve deep into all the Highlands have to offer. Here are two great sites you wont want to miss:
Inverness and Surrounds
All roads lead from here. Inverness remains the one true city of the Highlands and serves as a gateway to all that lay beyond. It is a hub of shops, dining, and an excellent place to stock up on supplies and ideas for the journey beyond the citys edge. Be sure to veer south of town to the famous Loch Ness and try to catch a glimpse.
Northern Highlands
Let your campervan become a hikers base camp. No other area offers so much for those wanting a peaceful stroll through ancient countryside or a challenging hike across craggy hills. This is not the tourist track. The Northern Highlands are for serious travellers who want to see the landscape as it has always been. Explore caverns and lochs, fish for your evenings meal. Savour the rawest meaning of what it is to be a Scot.
If you decide to make your Scotland Highlands Tour based on motorhome hire, call us on 0800 612 8719 and we can sort out which UK pick up point is going to be most convenient for you.
