Not bad for UK!

This is a beautiful park just off the High Street. Sandford Park is one of Cheltenham's lesser known little paradises. Apart from the park and gardens there is a large play area for kids.

"Don't miss Cheltenham's most iconic Regency feature; The Caryatids in Montpellier. These 'armless ladies' are a type of column which support the architectural facades of the chic boutiques in Montpellier Walk. Dating from 1840 they are loosely based on classical models on the Acropolis in Athens and are a form of decoration used extensively in 19th century France. There are 32 Caryatids in total, two were originally sculpted in terracotta by a London artist called Rossi and the remainder were copied by a local Cheltenham man."

"Montpellier Gardens lie close to the town centre and are an important part of Cheltenham's regency landscape. The gardens can be split into two recreational zones. Most of the park facilities are in the southern section and includes tennis courts, a café, toddlers’ play area and toilets. You’ll also find a community art gallery, Gardens Gallery which exhibits local artists’ work for the public. If you’re lucky you may also caught a live concert on the bandstand during the summer months." Source: https://www.visitcheltenham.com/things-to-do/montpellier-gardens-p1596033

The Neptune Fountain - purported to have been modelled as an ode to the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy - sits outside the Municipal Buildings on The Promenade. At night, it is beautifully lit, and creates an eye-catching focal point on Cheltenham’s famous avenue.

A few options to get up to this little piece of quiet, plenty of places to stop and take in the views and contemplate. If you’re lucky enough to be up there when they’re ringing the bells you’re in for a treat! Out of this world. 💚

At this time of year (April) you’ll be greeted with a carpet of beautiful bluebells, a pleasant surprise for those less familiar with the hill. I wouldn’t try walking through in the wetter months as you’ll see from the paths gnarly finish.
