Galivanting in Gloucester

With dinner done, we set about exploring the rest of the city. We started with a stroll towards the cathedral, passing a military museum and posing for a picture next to a small tank. We passed through a lovely pedestrianised archway with cafes lined up either side and it really felt like we were in a different country. On arrival we noticed that a film crew was outside. We were still allowed into the cathedral but the cloisters were closed to allow filming to take place. I’m not a particularly religious person but I do enjoy exploring the architecture of these large buildings. After exploring the lower levels, we worked out how to get upstairs to explore the upper levels. As well as some amazing gargoyles on display here, we also found the whisper corridor. This was a u-shaped passageway from one side of the cathedral to the other that allows a whisper from one end to be heard at the other. Unfortunately, we got a bit carried away and got told off by a passing couple.
