Eastgate Viewing Chamber

Reviewed By 923Dan - Swindon, United Kingdom

The Eastgate Viewing Chamber located outside Boots on Eastgate (next to the shopping centre of the same name), contains Roman, Norman and Civil War ruins spanning nearly 2,000 years of history. Discovered during the construction of the boots shop in the 1970's, the viewing chamber was build so passers-by can view the ruins through glass from the streets above, or as we did, you can book onto a £5 tour given by a Roman Centurion of the underground chamber itself. Tours are only now given on Saturday afternoons in summer, bookable through the town museum. Excellent tour, packed with history and humour by knowledgeable local guide. The highlight of our weekend away in Gloucester.

Excellent tour at 2:30pm today (14/3/20) ???????? a 5⭐️ event. Sir Simon is a spot on guide with excellent historical knowledge and a good sense of humour too. A prison steeped in shocking events from the 1700’s to 2013 when it closed and to the present day with the supernatural presence. I am definitely up for a ghost night now ???? Thank you guys, a well organised and timed tour. 10/10.

St Michael's Tower

Reviewed By 309mikek - Horsted Keynes, United Kingdom

An excellent guided tour .It should last about an hour and a quarter, our tour was longer but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We finished at the New Inn, a delightful galleried 14th century hostelry, where we had a very poor meal
