A DAY OUT IN CHELTENHAM

Even though I've lived in Bristol six years I have only visited Cheltenham once, even though it's less than an hours drive away it has somehow slipped off my radar as a place to go visit. So the other weekend we decided to drive over and explore the city.

Being a regency spa town, it is steeped in history and prides itself on being the cultural centre of the Cotswolds, surrounded by beautiful architecture, promenades and squares. Mix this with Cheltenham's Christmas activities and you're onto a great day out.

We arrived around lunchtime and as a treat we decided to try the rather grande Queens Hotel which overlooks the Imperial Gardens, being such a short walk to the promenade made it a great place to relax before we attempted any Christmas shopping.
