A
National Waterways Museum
A major part of the city's regeneration is taking place at Gloucester Docks, once Britain's largest inland port. Fifteen beautiful Victorian warehouses, many now restored, surround the canal basins and house a series of museums, shops and cafes. The largest warehouse at the docks, Llanthony, is home to the National Waterways Museum, a hands-on kind of place where you can discover the history of Britain's inland waterways. Exhibitions explain what it was like living, working and moving on the water, featuring plenty of historic boats and interactive exhibits that are great for children.
