Why do you think Gloucester docks have become attractive to tourists?
Look at the resource and make a list of the attractions that tourist might want to visit, also think about how the environment may attract tourists.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in the new dockside apartments?

I’ve been following this story from last night, it seems strange to think that only three weeks ago I was stood in the capital Dhaka, we are waiting to hear news from our new friends in Bangladesh.Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to complete the third day of my journey.
