Cheltenham

INCLUDED Visitor DestinationA wonderful mix of the traditional and the new, Cheltenham nestles against The Cotswolds as the perfect place to unwind and refresh your mind, body and soul. With an abundance of independent and much loved High Street shops and incredible dining experiences from street food to Michelin starred fine dining this is a town for browsing - and sampling! As you would expect from the UK’s most complete Regency town, Cheltenham is brimming with history. As you stroll along the promenade, it’s easy to see why it became the hip 18th century hang out for holidaying Brits, after the enterprising Henry Skillicorne unearthed its health-giving spa waters – even gaining the Royal Seal Of Approval after the visit of the then-reigning monarch, George III. A visit here will make it clear why the town was voted Best Place to Live in the South West in 2020 by The Sunday Times.
