Cheltenham is England's Regency spa town, made fashionable in the eighteenth century by King George III. The spa's salty water was hailed as something of a cure-all in Regency England thought to improve disorders ranging from constipation, and rheumatism to gout and even worms!

You can sample this natural spa water at the Pittville Pump Room that is housed in one of the finest Regency buildings in England.

Today it is renowned for its stylish shopping, colourful parks and floral displays, horse racing, music and literature festivals. The colourful parks, gardens and floral displays are part of the glory of Cheltenham and every summer the town centre becomes a blaze of colour.

Cheltenham's wide variety of fine hotels and guest accommodation plus a wide variety of restaurants combine to make Cheltenham Spa an excellent choice from which to discover the romance of Cotswolds.
