Gloucester Cathedral tends to be more commonly recognised as the setting for 'Hogwarts' in the first of the Harry Potter series of films (not that there's anything wrong with them!). However, the magnificence of the building's exterior is always overlooked - moreover, its history and background have been routinely excluded from the equation.

So, let's set the record straight. This is an insight into what you get when you take a stroll around outside of this splendid Norman structure. It's utterly beautiful and is a fitting tribute to the individuals who literally dedicated years of their lives to its construction.

I feel very privileged to live close to a building which is so dominant on the local skyline and instantly recognisable beyond my home county. It goes without saying that this is a must for a visit, for anyone even vaguely interested in history, architecture and stunning artistry.
