He was not the most popular of kings, and for that reason his body was sent to Gloucester rather than being placed in Westminster Abbey. Guided tours are frequently available at the cathedral and will be tailored to suit visitors' needs. Younger visitors might be interested to know that locations at the cathedral were used in the Harry Potter films.
