I include some of our favourite places in the welcome pack to help you enjoy these as well so do check this for places to eat, drink and visit. Or visit our website for latest news

Judges Lodgings is located opposite Gloucester Bowling Club and is an imposing regency building just yards from the Historic Gloucester Docks area of the city that is a fast growing tourist, shopping and restaurant area. The building has a Cotswold stone facade, ornate balcony and cornice and was built in the 1840’s by famous architect Sir Robert Smirke who also designed the British Museum in London. Over the years the property has had many uses from family home, school, registry office, hotel for visiting court Judges and most recently has been converted into luxury apartments. I moved to Gloucester in 2014 and live in Spa Road just yards away from Judges Lodgings. Gloucester has improved year on year since we arrived with more restaurants and bars opening all the time at The Docks at the end of the road. I loved the place immediately I know you will as well. All the decor and furniture are personally chosen by me and I know you will love each of the very individual styled apartments. The main hallways feature individually crime related paintings by a local artist.

Things to See and Do Locally​ ​ You will find the following information in the apartments. However for those that like to plan ahead check out our quick local guide for things to see and do in Gloucester & Gloucestershire as a whole. There is much more but this will keep you going!​ Gloucester Cathedral - formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, stands in the north of the city near the River Severn. It originated in 678 or 679 with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter (dissolved by King Henry VIII). Filming of Harry Potter took place here. Gloucester Docks & Sharpness Canal - The Gloucester & Sharpness Canal was once the broadest and deepest in the world. Even today, it stands out from other navigations because of its sheer scale and impressive engineering. Recently restored to it former glory and upgrade to include a gym, bars, restaurant, cinema and retail outlet centre. There is also The British Waterways Museum and Soldiers of Gloucester Museum. Behind the docks across the river is Alney Island Nature Reserve, a great place to take a circular long or short walk or a run.
