Mind
It is one thing getting our hearts pumping at the gym, but we want to get our brains exercising as well. Why not kick off the year by booking a tour with a knowledgeable blue badge tour guide? Discover more about the Regency spa town of Cheltenham whilst enjoying time outdoors. If guided tours are not your thing, you can discover Cheltenham at your own pace with our free self-guided tour around the town centre sights; a Pittville Park tree walk or the new heritage trail at Pittville Pump Room.
Cheltenham is home to not one, but two Escape Rooms. Test out your detective skills with a visit to the Escape Hunt in The Brewery Quarter and Escape Rooms on Winchcombe Street, (also home to Eat, Sleep, Axe if you fancy trying awe throwing too!)
Body

Or how about a relaxing spa day? Cheltenham has been a spa town resort since 1716 when a local landowner became curious of pigeons pecking at accumulated salts, convinced that the natural spa waters had healing properties. A pamper session at a Cheltenham spa is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
