The Queen of the Cotswolds, Cheltenham is actually a lot younger than many of the villages that dot the Cotswolds hills. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 it became a fashionable holiday town for the British and European elite playing host to kings. It was called ‘the merriest sick resort in Europe’ as aristocracy flocked to the town to partake of its waters in its ‘pump rooms’. The Regency arcitecture reflects this, stunning villas elegantly hewn in the local Cotswold stone, quarried from Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswold escarpment that overlooks the town. These days it is more famous for its racecourse, but instead here are some of its doors that aren’t used anymore.
