Check out some of our recommendations below:

Montpellier

Were it not for the coffee shops and pizza places, the white-fronted Regency architecture of Montpellier might make you think you’d stepped back into the 1820s. Boasting parks, squares, grand houses and palatial fountains, Montpellier is an alfresco area with an unmistakably Continental feel.

Home of the pedestrianised Promenade, it is also Cheltenham’s best area for shopping – particularly if upmarket boutiques are to your liking. Otherwise, buy a coffee, take an outside seat and watch the well-heeled world go by.

Sudeley Castle & Gardens
