    Great place ,we found it purely by chance , but it is well worth a visit and is very intact . It is owned by English heritage and jointly managed with Gloucester Council, they even use it for functions . There is a little cafe there but it was closed when we visited. A lot of detail is still intact and a great display on the information boards . Amazing fire place plus it is a free to enter English Heritage property and close by is the ruin of Greyfriars priory .
