Tewkesbury Abbey

Nice bit of barrel vaulting!

I went to Tewkesbury with Dave, on the buses via Cheltenham. We explored the Abbey, which I love, then took a short boat trip up the back of Avon (the river). After having lunch in Melanie's, a delightful cafe, we caught the bus to Gloucester.

I needed to do some research in Gloucester, and we visited the cathedral too, which had a huge Chartres-style labyrinth laid out on the floor. I walked it. Dave didn't.

Then we had tea and gelato (!) In a cafe in Westgate Street, and went home on separate buses from the new bus station, I mean transport hub.

Good value was had from my all-day bud pass! I still prefer Tewkesbury Abbey to Gloucester Cathedral. More daylight. Perhaps we could take in Worcester or Hereford cathedral as well, another time.
