City advice
Getting around
Getting around
Cheltenham is a quite a small town with most things in walking distance. There is an app for cheltenham taxis called Starline that you can download. We also have electric scooters dotted around the town which is a fun way to get around.
Book before you go
Cheltenham races
Book before you go, also note the town is a lot busier so book restaurants in advance.
