Tucked away from Oxford Street, Oxford Walk is a private no through road within Cheltenham’s town centre. Cheltenham became a spa town in 1716, although its popularity flourished after King George III visited in 1788.
Its heyday as a spa town was to last from about 1790 to 1850s and it was during these years that many of the town’s fine regency terraces, crescents and villas were built. There is a wide range of excellent schools in Cheltenham including Cheltenham Ladies’ College, Cheltenham College (co-ed), St Edwards and Dean Close.
As well as superb educational facilities, the town is well known for the many literary and music festivals that it holds as well as the cricket and national hunt festivals.
