Leconfield in College Road was built as a boarding house for Cheltenham College in the 1860s. The college is a co-educational, independent, boarding school for children 13 to 18, founded in 1841. Cheltenham is located at the foot of the Cotswold scarp with the small River Chelt flowing through the town. After the discovery of mineral springs in 1716 Cheltenham became a spa town and many Regency houses and other buildings were erected. The town is home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, four days of horse jump racing culminating in the Gold Cup, held annually in March at the nearby racecourse.
