There's a lot we can learn about the past from looking at old ruins. Take a walk back through history and ponder times gone by at Greyfriars.

This once-important structure in Gloucester is well-liked by travelers, so leave a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are many more options ready for you to enjoy after Greyfriars. Gloucester Quays, Gloucester Cathedral, and Hartpury University and Hartpury College are close by.

Obviously we travel a lot but lately we have been opening our eyes in our home city of Gloucester. This is the St Mary de Crypt Church in Southgate Street which we have walked past hundreds of times without taking notice. It was first recorded in 1140 and is located adjacent to the Greyfriars.
