Cheltenham

Cheltenham has a style and atmosphere all of its own. The style comes from its fashionable lifestyles, Regency architecture and wide tree-lined streets. The atmosphere comes from the people, the stores and the leisure and entertainment provision. Add the different festivals and you've a rich, exciting and vibrant place to be.

The presence of such a concentration of predominantly young people also helps support a lively economic community.

While it's only a 15 minute walk to the town centre, there are a good range of facilities even closer to The Park than that. The Bath Road provides a wide range of stores - including two supermarkets, several other food stores, off licences, book stores, newsagents and stationers. There are a number of banks, cafes and restaurants, plus pubs and a post office.
