Cheltenham is famed as one of the most complete Regency towns in England and historically the original and most fashionable spa towns. Now a highly desirable place to live the town is well known for its grand houses set amongst formal avenues and beautiful garden squares.

Fewer than a hundred miles from London it nestles beautifully between the Cotswold Hills and the Wye Valley and is home to numerous respected schools including Cheltenham College, Cheltenham Ladies College, Dean Close and Pates Grammar.

For art and history lovers there is The Wilson, Cheltenham’s refurbished museum and art gallery, whilst the town also has a thriving cultural scene that includes two concert halls and three theatres. There are the numerous festivals such as The Wychwood Festival, the famous Cheltenham Festivals of literature, science, food and drink and, perhaps the pinnacle for some, the jazz festival, which has historically attracted such known performers as Van Morrison, Jamie Cullum and Jools Holland.

The highlight of the year is the annual racing festival culminating with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the most prestigious event of the National Hunt calendar, and an attraction that draws the public to the town year after year.
