Cheltenham is the perfect place for a short stay or a week long trip. It’s small enough to explore on foot, yet large enough to give you a huge variety of things to do on your staycation this year. Whether it’s sightseeing local attractions or going for fast-paced activities, Cheltenham has everything you need to have a great time. So, here are some of the best things you can do on your stay.
A relaxing start to the trip
If you’re tired from the journey, you may want to start with a slower-paced, nature-based activity. Cheltenham sits in the Cotswolds and boasts dozens of picturesque trails and walks (guided and non-guided). As well as the parks and gardens in the town, you will find the impressive Cleeve Hill, which has the highest point in the Cotswolds. Crickley Hill also has a cafe, picnic and barbecue area, so you can enjoy food in the natural beauty around you.
