Gloucester City Sustainability Tour
Is the City of Gloucester more sustainable than you might think?
Using our audio or written guides, follow an interactive trail which also incorporates some of the city’s history and heritage.
The full trail takes up to two and a half hours on foot (dependant on walking pace) but shorter routes with selected landmarks are also possible for those with young children or little time.
If walking isn’t for you, why not try one of the city’s electric scooters, or perhaps cycling.

Travel
Long route
The long route starts at the University of Gloucester Oxstalls Campus: Oxstalls Lane, Longlevens, Gloucester, GL2 9HW
If you are travelling by public transport, the closest railway station is Gloucester which is around a 20-minute walk from campus (walking directions from Gloucester train station to Oxstalls campus).
Alternatively, the No. 94 bus stops right outside the campus, and runs every 10-15 minutes from the bus station opposite the railway station.
As a sustainability tour, we encourage you to travel smartly, but if you do drive the University of Gloucestershire Oxstalls Campus has pay and display parking onsite.
Short route
The short route starts at Gloucester Cathedral which is close to a number of bus routes and a short walk from the train station. There is no parking on the Cathedral’s grounds, but if you do drive there are a number of car parks nearby.
