Gloucestershire's top tourist attractions

We've asked the tourism chiefs in the county to number crunch the latest for us...and there were a couple of surprises. Gloucester Cathedral came out top with 375,000 visitors a year...Beechenhurst Lodge in the Forest of Dean zoomed in at no 2 with 300,000...Westonbirt Arboretum with 285,692 at no 3...5th was Keynes Country Park...part of the Cotswold Water Park.
It was number 4 that stumped most people...it took a while to get Beechenhurst into the list...but it took 2 and half of guesses to complete the top five. Here are a selection of the guesses and the elusive answer at the end.
Prinknash Abbey...May Hill...Severn Bore...Tewkesbury Abbey...Gloucester Docks...Batsford...Slimbridge...Beatrix Potter Museum...Cattle Country...Clearwell caves...Saul Juntion...Toddington...Westbury Court Gardens...Hidcote...Chedworth Roman Villa...Symonds Yat...
The answer...Robinswood Country Park with 279,000!
