This walk shows a little of the development of the lower town area – a story which is usually forgotten in the history of the town of Cheltenham. It will take about an hour.
We are keeping the group small so there will be a morning walk at 10:30 am and this will be repeated in the afternoon at 2:30 pm.
Meet inside Honeybourne Gate, 2 Gloucester Road, Cheltenham GL51 8DW – on the corner of the High Street and Gloucester Road – at 10:15 am.
Coffee and tea will be provided at Honeybourne Gate after the walk together with the opportunity to go up to the roof terrace on the 5th floor which gives an exceptional vista around Cheltenham.
Please note there is NO parking at Honeybourne Gate
