Down Hatherley is a little way out of central Gloucester, so there’s a good chance you’ll be doing a good amount of driving. If you’re planning to use Down Hatherley as a base from which to explore the city and its nearby areas, rent a smaller set of wheels. There’s nothing like a compact for maneuvering into those crowded parking lots. Alternatively, if you’re moving away from all the hustle and bustle and bright lights, go for something with a little more power and legroom. Not many visitors regret splashing out that little bit extra on a full-size or a premium car.
