About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

Gloucester Docks is rich in history and at The Canal & River Trust, we are offering guided historical walks where we share a variety of fascinating information with you and an opportunity to also view traditional ships.

These walk sessions are ideal if you also have an interest in canal and maritime heritage and are also a great way of getting some exercise and meeting new people.

Meeting point is outside The National Waterways Museum at Gloucester Docks. Post Code: GL1 2EH. We will set off at 11am and follow a circular route around the docks, aiming to be back at the museum for 12:30pm.

Tickets cost £4 per person and this fee helps fund various other engagement activities along the canal network. Each ticket will enable you to get 20% off your drink in the The National Waterways Museum café on the day of the walk.

Please aim to arrive 5-10 minutes before the session begins.

If you would like to cancel your tickets, you can do so up to 24-hours before the walk.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news and events.

Canal & River Trust (Wales and South West)

We're the charity who look after and bring to life 2,000 miles of waterways, because we believe that life is better by water.

Our research shows that spending time by water, whether it be your lunchbreak, daily commute or just a weekend stroll, really can make us feel happier and healthier.

With ever increasing rates of obesity, stress and declining mental health in the UK, we are uniquely placed to make a significant contribution to improving the wellbeing of millions of people. Our canals and rivers run through some of the most heavily populated communities in England and Wales, providing accessible green and blue space where it’s needed the most.

That’s why, here at the Trust, we're working with volunteers and communities across England and Wales to transform canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better. We know this will bring wellbeing opportunities to millions.

Our work involves not only looking after our waterways, but promoting them widely to the eight million plus people who have waterways on their doorstep so that many more people benefit from our free, accessible and local source of wellbeing.

We have a range of events which you will be able to take part in around your local waterways.
