Cheltenham, England Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels Worldwide

A beautiful Spa town conveniently located between the picturesque Cotswalds Hills and Severn Vale, Cheltenham boasts beauty, history, culture, and entertainment, making it the ideal place to visit for a long or short vacation. This town became a great place to visit after it was given royal patronage by King George III in 1788.
