Britain's most inland port is Gloucester docks, located at the northern junction of the River Severn with the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. The docks were formed when the canal from Sharpness opened in 1827 bypassing a difficult stretch of the Severn.
The docks is a conservation area and the Grade II listed warehouses have been renovated to create flats, offices, bars and restaurants. The dock area includes the National Waterways Museum and the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum.
