Cheltenham

Cheltenham became a spa town in 1716 after medicinal waters were discovered when local people saw pigeons pecking at mineral deposits near a spring.

Early visitors to the spa included Handel and Samuel Johnson, but it was a visit by King George III in 1788 that led to the rapid development of Cheltenham as a fashionable spa. The town’s many fine Regency houses, built between 1790 and 1840, are impressive reminders of this period.

Nearby, the historic city of Gloucester dates back to Roman times. Gloucester was once an important sea port, as important as London (Richard III was crowned in the city in 1216). More recently, Gloucester Cathedral provided one of the locations for Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter movies.

Accommodation

Accommodation is provided in single en-suite rooms on campus. The rooms are divided into blocks of 16 to 20 rooms, with two small common rooms per block. There are coin-operated laundry facilities on-site.
