All about Cheltenham
As a well-to-do town with one foot in the countryside, Cheltenham offers the best of both worlds. This attractive urban hub, best known for its internationally acclaimed festivals and immaculate Regency architecture, fizzes with culture and fine dining, with the rural idylls of the Cotswolds close by.
Mineral springs discovered in the early 18th century built Cheltenham into an early tourist spa town in the style of Bath; it became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, when latter-day hipsters came to sip the curative waters that bubble up here. Exquisite parks and promenades developed during that era still add to its appeal, including Pittville Park, home to a boating lake, and the magnificent Pittville Pump Room, now an events space and cafe, adorned with fluted Ionic columns and housing the original marble water pump.
In town, leafy shopping districts around the Promenade, Montpellier, and the Suffolks — a square of colourful Georgian townhouses — feature independent stores, bars, cafes, and the Wilson Art Gallery and Museum.
What are the top things to do in Cheltenham?
Holst Birthplace Museum
Go back in time to see a typical 19th-century domestic setting at this home of the famous composer. The piano on which he composed his best-known seven-movement suite is still in the music room.
Sandford Parks Lido
The bathing suits may have changed, but the nostalgic design of this 1930s lido is little altered. A 50-metre heated outdoor swimming pool backed by lawns is accompanied by a children’s pool with slides and a paddling pool. In summer it hosts outdoor movie screenings, with deckchairs for the top seats. The main summer period usually runs from May to October, but there are cold-water swimming sessions for hardcore swimmers during the winter.
Sudeley Castle
To the northeast of the city, Sudeley Castle is one of the closest Cotswolds attractions, and an absolute stunner with 10 distinct gardens bursting with flowers. A millennia of history is packed into the castle’s crenellated walls, and Katherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VIII, is buried in the grounds.
