| Cheltenham Gloucestershire
This classical Regency spa town first became famous in the eighteenth
century with the discovery in 1716 of its healing waters. With the visit
of King George III in 1788 the town became a fashionable resort resulting
in the splendid Regency architecture.
Between1780
and 1840 Cheltenham developed rapidly and is the most complete Regency
town in England.
The
Pump rooms still offer visitors the opportunity to "take the
waters". Wide tree-lined avenues, beautiful parks as well as many
cultural and social events make Cheltenham a very popular place for
visitors.
The
town entertained many famous visitors including the Duke of Wellington and
Queen Victoria whilst she was still a princess. Other visitors included
Jane Austen, Lord Byron and Daniel Defoe. The birthplace of the composer of
The Planets suite, Gustav Holst, can also be found here.
