Gloucester is the 46th biggest settlement in the UK. The city is densely populated with 123,205 people, as per the 2001 census.
However, the actual population is larger than this as the town limits extend beyond its boundaries.
The town is situated on the banks of the River Severn. Gloucester is surrounded by the Cotswolds on the east, Malvern Hills on the North West and the Forest of Dean on the west.
The town is a port where large ships can dock. The warehouses, docks and wharfs underwent renovation in the 1980s when some of the warehouses were converted into the National Waterways Museum.
Others were converted into bars, shops and plush residential apartments.
The city hosts a number of festivals. The ‘Three Choirs Festival’ is one of the famous annual festivals in the city. People here are fond of old music as it is their heritage.
Many of the events and festivals are exclusively arranged for musical concerts.
