A charming city on the border of the beautiful and peaceful Cotswolds region of England and located on the small River Chelt, Cheltenham has a long and distinguished past. Although it received a charter as a town from the crown a full 800 years ago, the town itself became famous in the 1700's when natural mineral springs were discovered here. From the year 1830 to the present day, a pump room, the Pittville Pump Room, has been in operation, allowing visitors to come in droves to partake of the healing mineral waters.
The town became so famous for this that it was also named Cheltenham Spa.
