Where to stay in Kingsholm
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Kingsholm Stadium sets the calendar for the area, and a Gloucester Rugby fixture is the single strongest reason to want a bed on this side of Gloucester rather than in the centre. College Green is the quieter option. Its numbered addresses, 9, College Green among them, sit near Northgate House, The Folk of Gloucester and the Church of St John Northgate.
You want Kingsholm for match days at the stadium and a morning at St Oswald's Priory.
