Going to Gloucester to pick the new car up, need to kill a few hours!

[mattyprice4004]

Just wondering if anyone knows of any cool tourist attractions or awesome places around that area, or indeed anywhere along the M5 from Birmingham to Gloucester.

Got a few hours to kill when I'm there... spec away!

Watch out for puddles. I hear they're deceptively deep in that area.

Go to Cheltenham

what you looking for ? Scenery.. a quiet walk ... shopping or some events?

Go the the Hungry Horse at Seven Springs, and sit in the carpark wondering where everyone is.

This would probably be easiest and quickest to get to.

Roll yourself down Cooper's Hill.

Gloucester:
Cathedral
Docks
The new Quays Shopping Centre

There's not much else tbh, should do you for a few hours though.

And it's the Tall Ships festival at the Docks

Definitely go to Cheltenham instead. Gloucester has been trying to improve itself, but in the end that's just like trying to polish a turd.

Cheese rolling finished on Monday.

Why would you want to go see that Gok gaylord in Gloucester. :/

Tall ships festival sounds good and I didn't even know it was on.

<Sweeping generalisation>
Gloucester = full of scroungers
Cheltenham = full of chavs (and those that "think" they have money)
</generalisation>

As for LAN party FFS. get out in the sunshine you pale faced geek

Cheltenham is just a massive council estate with a few posh shops.

Gloucester Quays sucks but then as does Gloucester as a whole

It has a shiny floor though.

Aye and Gloucester is the same...just without the posh shops

I was quite impressed, and my friend (who comes from Gloucester) said she thought it was a positive thing for the area.
