Gloucester Cathedral
Spectacular Gloucester Cathedral attracts over 330,000 visitors a year. Many are drawn to worship, some to marvel at the Gothic and Norman architecture and stonework, and others to see the cloisters that were used as the Hogwart's School corridors in the first two Harry Potter movies. It also contains the tomb of tragic, lowbrow-loving King Edward II.
