There are a few places that you visit that completely exceed your expectations, places that you find so astonishing that you think of them long after you have departed and for me, Gloucester Cathedral, in particular it’s cloisters are one of them.
From the first time I saw them, I knew that their fame was more than justified, the ceilings are draped with the most beautiful fan vaulting, the light plays through the windows and wandering the cloisters gives you a chance to walk in peace, quiet and truly feel as though you have stumbled back in time.
The cloisters at Gloucester are built on the north side of the church, unusual to begin with as most churches have the cloister on the south.
