Cheltenham features [52]
The lake in Pittville Park.
The Pump Room, roads and gardens of the Pittville Estate were purchased by Cheltenham Borough Council in 1891 and opened as a public park. The park is on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1000196
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.

Rather a pleasant view from here. The high ground in the distance is the Cotswold escarpment down which the A435 carries traffic into southern Cheltenham.
