Gloucester Courthouse Circle with its surrounding businesses has survived years of change and remains much as you might have found it at an earlier date. Visitors to this historic spot will enjoy stepping back in time, flavoring the excitement of "court days", enjoying the quiet hum of a summer day or the hushed stillness at dusk under the great old trees inside the court green.
