So Cheltenham does have a river!

The visitor to Cheltenham is gazing at the River Chelt from a footbridge in Sandford Park, one of the few places in the town where the river is not underground. Despite being largely unseen, the river poses a flood threat. In the summer of 2007, many areas of the town were seriously flooded.
