National Waterways Museum

The National Waterways Museum at Gloucester sits inside the historic Llanthony Warehouse at Gloucester Docks and tells the story of the docks and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. Canal and River Trust describes it as a journey through the docks’ 200 year history, rooted in the working life of this once-busy waterfront. The museum page also highlights an on-site café and gift shop, plus events and activities that help turn a visit into more than a quick look round. It is a strong choice if you want a dose of local heritage with plenty of dockside atmosphere outside the door.
