Best Things To Do & Days Out In Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Best known for its fantastic family-friendly literature festival, there are lots of other things to do in Cheltenham.
On a warm day make a splash at the lido. The glorious open-air swimming pool has acres of space for playing and sunbathing. The pool itself is 50m long, so ideal for parents to indulge in a bit of outdoor swimming! There are slides and a separate paddling pool for younger children, along with a café and sun terrace on site.
Pittville Park is nearby with lots of ways for children to enjoy the trees and outdoor space. Have a relaxing boat ride on the lake, take your rackets for a game of tennis or just enjoy the food at the award winning café. Little ones will also love the Pets Corner, where they can meet friendly furry animals.
There are plenty of things to do in this quintessential Cotswolds town and its surrounding areas, with Sudeley Castle being a firm favourite.
