Gloucester, County town in South West England.

Located between the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean, Gloucester stands on the River Severn with restored Victorian warehouses at its historic docks.

The Romans established this settlement as Glevum around 48 AD, developing it into a significant colony at a strategic River Severn crossing point.

The medieval Gloucester Cathedral contains architectural elements from Norman to Perpendicular Gothic periods and serves as King Edward II's burial place.

The city center contains multiple shopping districts, markets, and transportation links including direct rail connections to London, Bristol, and Birmingham.

The International Centre for Birds of Prey maintains extensive collections of raptors and conducts research programs for species preservation.
