What to do and see in Cheltenham, England: The Best Outdoor Activities
Cheltenham was just your average, sleepy town until the discovery of a spring in 1716, after which it became Britain's most popular spa town. (Like Palm Springs without the casinos.) Local Cheltonians have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. After taking in the waters at the Pittville Pump Room (great name for a spa), check out the Art Gallery and Museum to learn about the social history of Cheltenham.

We rented bikes for 6 days to bike around the Cotswolds and couldn't be happier with our choice in bike rentals! This shop rents both e-bikes and hybrids- I chose an e-bike because of the very hilly terrain and my husband chose a hybrid. Both bikes were wonderful- so much so that I did not want to return mine at the end of the rental! Service was excellent- responsive email booking, wonderfully welcoming and informative service at the shop, bikes came with all of the repair tools, helmets, etc., with reassurance that if the e-bike broke down to give them a call to come out and they would repair it anywhere on our journey! Located conveniently behind the train station and near a lovely bike path into Cheltenham and beyond. I cannot say enough good things about this place- just rent from them, you will not regret it!
