Answer 3

Cheltenham is a lovely georgian spa town, has some great shopping areas, parks, is on the fringe of the cotswolds, one of the most picturesque areas of the country,it is near oxford, is very close to the M5 motorway which leads to west country or midlands, London is about 3hrs away, bristol another great shopping area is about 40mins away, like all towns there are good and bad areas, Cheltenham I would say has by far, good areas. Crime wise I would say was low, there are websites to give exact figures. I would have no hesitation of living there, I lived there for 5yrs and loved it, I lived in the Charlton Kings area, very nice and considered very upmarket.
