Walking in Cheltenham

Walking in Cheltenham

One of the most beautiful cities in the United Kingdom, Cheltenham was originally a spa town. In some quarters, it is still called Cheltenham Spa. To walk around Cheltenham is quite different from walking around almost any other city in the UK. With plenty of neo-classical architecture. Ionic columns all over the place. You can't throw a stone without hitting an ionic column somewhere or other. And yet it is a proper city with all that this implies.

I don't know Cheltenham very well but after a few hours, I am hankering to know it better. I have often said I wouldn't like to live in a city again... But this might be an exception. It really is a very fine place. Like many British cities it is full of parks. I wandered through a couple and much of this walk is within the fashionable Montpellier District.

Technically, Cheltenham is on the edge of the Cotswolds but you wouldn't know it.
