Cheltenham
Cheltenham has been welcoming visitors for almost 300 years, ever since the discovery of the first natural spring led to the development of the elegant spa town of today.
A unique and historic town with a population of about 106,000, Cheltenham is also a cultural centre hosting an impressive calendar of international festivals and special events topped off with some of the UK's finest Georgian architecture.
