Claiming Britain's most complete Regency townscape, Cheltenham is a spa town of around 116,000 in Gloucestershire, sitting northeast of Gloucester on the western flank of the Cotswolds. The mineral springs discovered in 1716 launched a building programme that produced Imperial Square, the Pittville Pump Room, and the broad promenades now considered the town's architectural signature. Montpellier carries much of that Regency character today.
Leckhampton and Charlton Kings form the school-competitive southern suburbs, where families compete for both state and independent places; Bayshill, pressed against the spa quarter's stucco terraces, is among the most sought-after pockets for school catchments in the centre. Cheltenham Spa station sits on the Great Western Main Line, linking the town to Bristol Temple Meads in under forty minutes and Birmingham New Street in under an hour; Cotswolds villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water also attract families seeking school places beyond the borough edge.
