Today, the canal is busy once again, though this time with pleasure boats. The Victorian dockyards too have undergone a facelift and are touted as the city's great new tourist attraction, though Gloucester's most prominent sight is the cathedral , its tower visible for miles around. Few other buildings in the city have survived the ravages of history and the twentieth century, with the centre a mish-mash of medieval ruins swallowed up by ugly new buildings. A web of roads engulfs Gloucester, and if you're driving , the best advice is to head for the docks (well signposted) and park there. National Express runs buses from all neighbouring cities and beyond, and there are frequent local services from Cheltenham. Trains arrive every one or two hours at the station at Bruton Way, five minutes' walk east of the Cross, from London, Cheltenham, Cardiff, Worcester and Bristol; the bus station is right opposite.
