History, Heritage & Tours
Cheltenham is the most complete Regency town in the UK, which means any casual stroller around the town cannot fail to spot signs of our history! Yet our gorgeously preserved Regency exteriors are not the only history and heritage on offer.
For details about Cheltenham's Regency Past, use our history page; click here for architecture. The best way to discover the history of Cheltenham is with a qualified tour guide. Click here for trails and tours of Cheltenham.
The oldest building in Cheltenham is St Mary's Minster, and Cheltenham is also famous for explorer Edward Wilson, and composer Gustav Holst. Our history section uncovers a lot of what Cheltenham has to offer.
A great way to explore and understand the town is through our Heritage Open Days which take place in September.
