Cheltenham is now probably most famous for the Gold Cup horse race which takes place in mid-March every year. You'll need to book early to find a room, possibly as early as the previous year. Many people accept rooms anywhere within about a 50 mile radius.
Frequent rail links to London Paddington, Bristol and the south and Birmingham and the north.
The M5 reaches Cheltenham from the North and South and the A40 from the East (from Oxford) is also a useful transport link. Parking is rarely a problem now in Cheltenham, but the one way systems can sometimes get a little confusing.
There are buses from Cirencester, Stroud and other local villages to Cheltenham once an hour. National bus services are also available.
