Very well-connected
Cheltenham is well-connected in more ways than one. Junction 10 of the M5 is to the north of the town and Junction 11 is to the south, where it intersects with the A40. The A40 is an extraordinary route, taking in some amazing countryside on its way from Oxford and across the Cotswolds. To the west it just keeps on going all the way to the far west of Wales, via the Wye Valley and the Brecon Beacons. Closer to home it connects Cheltenham with its neighbouring town, Gloucester, just 8 miles away. The cross-country route to Oxford is around 40 miles, with some tempting places to stop off en route. Bristol is 42 miles to the south and Birmingham is 60 miles to the north. Cheltenham Spa railway station is on the Bristol to Birmingham mainline, and services also link with Swindon, London Paddington, Cardiff Central and right the way down through the South West. Coach services for the town include routes to London and Heathrow Airport. Bristol Airport is just over 50 miles away, a drive time of around an hour.
Great amenities
This lovely town has a role as a regional shopping centre. It’s got down-to-earth shops and supermarkets, department stores, upmarket fashion and lifestyle boutiques, the modern indoor Regent Arcade, the Cheltenham Promenade and the Montpellier Courtyard to choose from. As well as the famous Cheltenham Ladies’ College, there are six state secondary schools, Gloucester College of Further Education has a base in the town, and the University of Gloucester has a presence too, with two of its campuses here.
Great fun
The Brewery Quarter is a leisure venue for family entertainment and eating-out.
