Cheltenham Racecourse

Chipping Campden Village

Prestbury Park, Cheltenham, GL50 4SH

High Street, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire GL55 6AN

A wonderful natural sporting amphitheatre, with the Cotwold Hills forming a backdrop to one of the most famous racecourses in the world.

England in a single take: an elegant Cotswold honey– coloured limestone High Street with pubs, antique shops, tea rooms and an ancient market place. London presents one great image of the UK, Chipping Campden is the image of England/Britain that many overseas visitors imagine: Cotswolds rural, peaceful and more ‘British’ than Winston Churchill eating fish and chips in a Mini.
