- Planning to visit Gloucester ? You shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit its Cathedral. Ever since moving to Gloucestershire we've always loved visiting Gloucester Cathedral. With its magnificent medieval architecture it is a wonder to explore. Probably more famous since the cloister fan vaults appear in the Harry Potter film franchise but it is steeped in history. Inside you'll discover some of the world’s finest examples of medieval architecture, from the giant pillars of the Norman Nave to the earliest surviving example of soaring Gothic Perpendicular. Stand in front of what was once the world's largest stained glass window and walk through its famous Cloister, which appeared in as parts of Hogwarts in three of the Harry Potter films.
The monks’ daily lives revolved around this area and now you can marvel at the beautiful fan-vaulted ceiling, see the monks’ communal washing area and enjoy the peaceful garden with spectacular views of the Tower.

I visited this beautiful cathedral with my darling, who has since passed on. So glad I got to see this gorgeous place with him.
It is a great and wonderful spectacle so pleased you enjoyed it.
Beautiful cathedral and a wonderful and informative video.
Thanks for your comment. M&T
Beautiful cathedral and great introduction to it. We live about 30 minutes down the road from it, so have visited fairly often, it is one of my favourites. Reason Six would be the excellent acoustics, and if anyone can manage it, I recommend combining your visit with a music event. We attended a Welsh Male Voice choir there some years ago, the sound was spectacular.
Hi thanks for your lovely comments. Yes it does have fantastic acoustics. We once met Charity Qiun in the cathedral, she taught Ed Sheeran hope to sing and she did a very short performance in Lady Chapel. Gloucester Cathedral - Featuring Charity Quin

Thank you for this wonderful video!
Yer very welcome glad you enjoyed. M&T
Thanks for the lovely video. I am a volunteer at the cathedral and enjoy it very much. Subscribed and liked.
Thank you. Really pleased you enjoyed the video. Mike
Wow wow wow!!! This video is STUNNING! We met Watto and Kim for lunch yesterday and Watto insisted I watch this video of yours. Your filming is flawless, your editing is phenomenal and your scripting and VO are the perfect complement. Well done! I’ve clicked the red button 😉.
We are Dara and Ian… Americans who live in Cheltenham during the summers. I absolutely LOVE Gloucester Cathedral and you did a masterful job showcasing it! 🙌🙌
Thank you so much, that is praise indeed. Must admit this video took a long time to complete. I had to learn so much and am very proud of it. Am intrigued, do otters hibernate ? Where do you go for winter ?
@@MikeandTeresaExplorehiya! I had to come look for your response because the dumb yt app didn't show me your reply! You should be proud of this video. SO well done! We just left Cheltenham last week. Now we are in Vienna, Austria, getting ready to wander the continent for 3 weeks. Then we will fly back to Texas from Paris. Real otters like to sleep during the day and feed themselves at night or the early morning. They don't hibernate. As for this Magenta Otter, I spend the winter in sunny Texas and the summer in sunny Gloucestershire. I don't like extreme hot or cold, haha!
We come back next May. Let me know if you ever want to meet up. Cheers! Dara
@@MagentaOtterTravels hope you have a great time we'll look out of your videos. Yes lets try and meet up when your back. We'll keep Cheltenham warm for your return :)
@@MikeandTeresaExplore cheers! Good luck staying warm this winter 🥶. We are in Austria now, but I’ll be posting videos about Britain for months to come. I have a crazy workflow 😆. All the best, Dara
Beautiful Cathedral. Love the history and narration!
Thanks, this video did take a long time to produce.
Beautiful Catedral, tomb for Edward , very nice history of golf ⛳, thank you so much for sharing 😀
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.
Great video Mike. Gloucester cathedral is one of the best in the country in my opinion. You showcased it really well. A massive like from me. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️. ATB Watto.
Cheers, it took a lot of effort to produce this from several visits.
What a beautiful cathedral the lady chapel room looked beautiful. I can totally see why they filmed some of Harry Potter there it’s a stunning design. Lots of great information as I think they are all great reasons to visit. 😊👍
Yes it is a truly magical place. A must place to visit.
Great city My home Town
It is and with so much history. Thanks
A city with so many pluses
+ unfortunately so many minuses too :(
@@stephenchappell7512 every Town/City has good and bad points.
@@MikeandTeresaExplore
True but not many places have the
pedigree of Gloucester
It should have far more visitors but
unfortunately it is let down by too
many examples of architectural acne
@@stephenchappell7512 'architectural acne' so well put and agree.
1st watching now Mike. 👍🏻
Thanks
@@MikeandTeresaExplore hmm maybe in wrong video. 🤷🏻♂️. Fat thumbs.
Ha ha, made us laugh.
Another great video! We haven't been to Gloucester yet, but after this video definitely will come. Thank you for amazing guide! 🙂
Glad you liked it, you'll have to let us know when you do come, we could meet up. Mike.
@@MikeandTeresaExplore sure! And collaboration will be a great idea for both channels. TH-cam loves it 🙂
We’d love to do something together :)
Found your channel from Watto. I know the Cheltenham Gloucester area quite well having visited the area on numerous occasions.
Hi Alice, hope you enjoyed your visits. You'll have to let us know when you in the area next time.
@@MikeandTeresaExplore Metting with Watto on 9th October in Shrewsbury. Please join us. He will give you the details.
@@AliceGoss we met up with Watto and Kim yesterday! We live in Cheltenham during the summer.💕
One of our favourite cathedrals so light and airy we filmed there a while ago but never thought to put the drone up. 👍🙏 nice work 😉
Thanks, our favourite too. You do need to have permission and a slot to fly your drone. As I found out later :)
Thank you. Excellent brief intro. I am reassured, since I visited many years ago and found the building somewhat cold. Maybe the wrong time of year. What is the app you mention?
Thanks for the comments. The app is Gloucester Cathedrals own app. You can find it in either apple or android store by searching for Gloucester Cathedral. Depending what year you visited am sure they have improved the temperature inside. All buildings of this nature of on the cool side though particularly if you visit in winter. Mike
No its not the first depiction of Golf. I believe its called Bandy Ball or something.
Yes your right, but why let the truth spoil a good story. Thanks for you comment hope you enjoyed the video.
Well, to be fair, he didn’t say it WAS golf… he just said you needed to go visit the cathedral and find out for yourself. Of course, at the cathedral they tell you it’s bandy ball 😉😂
@@MagentaOtterTravels Thanks, well said.
