SANDFORD PARKS LIDO
Cheltenham's Lido was built in 1935 and is one of 98 remaining lidos in the UK. The lido is a great day out in the heart of Cheltenham, on the edge of the Cotswolds.
It is a children's paradise with slides, a children's pool and a paddling pool. The 50m heated pool is also an ideal place to train, two lanes are reserved most days. Open Spring to Autunm.
WINSTON CHURCHILL MEMORIAL GARDENS
Winston Churchill Memorial Garden is a tranquil public park located at the end of the Lower High Street, which also offers a children's play park and historical significance.
There is access to the Honeybourne Line footpath and cycle track, a former railway line which runs along an embankment, to the west of the gardens forming the boundary to this side. This designated track, route 41 of the Sustrans national cycle network, provides a valuable link into the gardens and across the town.
