After a 10 minute wander around B&amp;Q I can see why renovating is so expensive here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enjoy a quiet evening at Briarfields.

A Roman settlement was established here on the River Severn in 48 AD. Its importance as a trading port continued with the completion of the Sharpness Canal. The old town centre pivots on Gloucester Cathedral, whilst the beautifully restored Gloucester Quays is the fashionable hub of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"35069\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35069\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-scaled.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-570x428.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-1320x990.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6386-2731x2048.jpeg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"35076\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-scaled.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-570x428.jpeg 570w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-1320x990.jpeg 1320w, https:\/\/michaelandpamstravels.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_6409-2731x2048.jpeg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Only a block from the bus interchange we find Gloucester Cathedral, pictured above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and the Holy and indivisible Trinity\u2019 stands on the site of a Gloucester Abbey which dates to 679.
