Close to the City but perching above the River Severn and alongside a stretch of our very own restored Canal. You can abandon the car and walk off road into Gloucester Docks through a nature reserve or jump on a bus almost outside the front door. On site you can explore the Canal and our fleet of restored Heritage Boats. You may be lucky enough to see our breeding kingfishers, otters or swans - who raised 6 cygnets each of the last 3 years.
