About Cheltenham and the surrounding areas.
Cheltenham is the most complete Regency town in England and has a wonderful variety of quality shops. It is also the venue festivals of music, literature and horse racing while the two theatres provide a stage for players from around the country.
Cheltenham is known as the "Centre of the Cotswolds" because, in the surrounding hills, stand the many timeless villages for which the area is world famous. Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are, perhaps, the best known of these but a map and a willingness to explore will lead to the discovery of many hidden hamlets. Most have an ancient church and village "pub" where a "pint and a ploughmans lunch" will reward a days wandering. Guided tours can be arranged from this Guest House.
Nearby lies Prestbury, the most 'haunted village" in England and a conversation in one of the village 'pubs' may well include stories of 'strange goings-on.
Winchcombe has the castle of Royal Sudely which is steeped in history and Royal connections while Gloucester boasts that its Cathedral is, perhaps, the finest in England.Stratford-on-Avon is about one hour away while the Cathedral town of Worcester and Malvern, where the composer Elgar composed much of his music, is the same distance off.
There are also two fine golf courses nearby if this is the game you enjoy.
