Meet your guide outside Boots in Eastgate Street
The history of Gloucester from the 2nd century through to the 18th century is visible in the Eastgate Chamber. You will see the archaeological remains of the 2nd-century Roman gate and the 4th-century walls.
Remains of the 11th-century Norman gate are to be seen as well as the 13th-century tower and the 16th-century horsepool. Learn about the many uses of the medieval tower and the significance of the Eastgate during the Siege of Gloucester in 1643.
It’s a fantastic chance to explore a space that is not normally open to the public.
