    Map of area surrounding Cathedral, we parked @ "you are here."  Only a few minutes walk there.

    A HARRY POTTER filming site! About an 1.5 hr drive northwest of London, this cathedral is BEAUTIFUL in its own right. However, there was no architectural or religious reason why we made the journey here. We were here simply as Yankee Harry Potter film geeky fans. After a jaunt through Warwick Castle in the early part of the day, we were in relatively close proximity so, should we do it? DUH?!?! How often are we here??? OF COURSE, go... just remember to stay on the left, Yankee!!! Hah! Probably the most frustrating part was following the directions the GPS was offering once in the town of Gloucester to get me close to the Cathedral. I finally gave up using navigation and just looked up! I saw where the gorgeous cathedral was (tallest structure in town) and found the closest parking area to it. We came in 10min to closing, and the bloke controlling the door kindly let us pass for a quick prayer and photo-op, yay! The Cloisters, the hallways with the fan vaulted ceiling, used in the Harry Potter movies, are straight across the side entrance. Gorgeous architecture makes for a lovely background for snaps. And there's free WC's as well for the weary traveler... bonus!!! We dropped a few quid in the donation box and we were on our way. Thanks be to God ;)

The Cathedral is located in this gorgeous open square, and overlooks the Bristol City Council buildings. For me, the curlicue fanciful Victorian Architecture was most dominant, but our guide pointed out the Chapter House is dated from the medieval period and various restoration and expansion efforts were continuously pretty much undertaken over various centuries, so that now the Bristol Cathedral is a beautiful and harmonious blend of Gothic - Medieval, Tudor, Restoration and Victorian architecture. Luckily its still standing as it wasn't damaged during the WWII blitz of the city. An interesting fact our guide told us was that no member of the Bristol City Council ever comes to worship here. Instead they go to a church, which is located directly opposite this Cathedral, because back at the turn of the 19th century, the then-Councillors requested the Bristol Cathedral Bishop for them to be seated closer to the front. The Bishop refused and so they Councillors decided to build their own Church, where they could be given more prominence. If in Bristol, I definitely recommend coming to check this Cathedral out.

    St Vincent's Cave / Giant's Cave nr Clifton Observatory…read more Not something for those who are claustrophobic or fear heights - but that is of course also its charm - this is a great exploration to add on to your Clifton Down walk one day. William West (artist 1800s) built a tunnel (2000 feet long) from the Observatory to St Vincent's cave (historians claim it was both a chapel dating back to around 350 AD and place of refuge). Steeped in history, you will find your decent a sharp one as you hunch over to get through the rugged limestone passageway. The reward comes as the path opens to a 'balcony' carved out of the cliff with views of the Avon Gorge 250 feet below (and if you twist your neck the cliff top 90 feet above). It feels rustic, pure and of a bygone era and then you are transported back to reality as you climb back to the surface.

From here, there are stunning views towards Leigh Woods and the Bridge, and 240 feet down to the River Avon and the road that runs alongside it. A platform with a chest-high modern railing allows you to walk out above thin air and see the floor of the Gorge through a grid beneath your feet. The gnarled cave opening was used as a chapel by the Romans in the 4th Century, and since that time has served both as a shrine and a place of refuge. Limited information is available in the Observatory. Entrance is 1 pound, and it is open every weekend during the day. Some tight turns and steep steps mean that the climb is not suitable for everyone.
