BOARD A STEAM TRAIN
A one-of-a-kind train ride.
There’s a certain romance to travelling by steam train. The volunteer-operated Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway knows that all too well and offers a 28-mile round trip through the Cotswolds on a heritage train for your passenger pleasure. All aboard!
TAKE ON THE NINJA WARRIOR CHALLENGE
Spring into action.
Make your holiday a little less humdrum by putting your Ninja skills to the test. Take on two courses and see if you can make the local leader board in the time trial challenge.
EXPLORE GLOUCESTER BY PADDLEBOARD
Unwind on the water.
Get to know Gloucester from a completely new perspective. Choose to float past tall ships from yesteryear at the historic docks, or the scenic River Severn for views of the local wildlife. The relaxing form of exercise is open to beginners and regular paddlers.
WALK THE NAVE AT GLOUCESTER CATHEDRAL
A magical sight.
A gem in the West Country crown, Gloucester Cathedral is more than 1,300 years old and has to be seen to be believed. You might even recognise the stunning stained-glass windows and classical cloisters from the early Harry Potter films.
