Cheltenham started as a small Anglo-Saxon village over 1200 years ago and not 

until 1716 did it become a popular Spa town. This led to the rapid development 

of Cheltenham in the late 18th and early 19th Century and the heritage of this

can be seen in the town`s Regency Architecture. 



Today Cheltenham is favourably known as the Centre for the Cotswolds, with a 

very attractive town centre, which is renowned for quality shopping by day and a 

wide variety of nightlife or entertainment to suit all tastes. It also attracts 

significant business and commerce due to its location within Gloucestershire, 

the South Midlands and South West of England.
