Cheltenham (or Cheltenham Spa) is a large spa town and borough in Gloucestershire, England. The people of the town are known as "Cheltonians". Its motto is: Salubritas et Eruditio ("Health and Education").
Cheltenham is located on the edge of the Cotswolds and has an image of being respectable and wealthy. The small River Chelt flows under and through the town and is subject to regular floods.
Cheltenham is the home of the flagship race of British steeplechase horse racing. The town hosts several festivals of culture.
The town was awarded a market charter in 1226, though little remains of its pre-spa history.
Cheltenham has been a health and holiday spa town resort since the discovery of mineral springs there in 1716. The spa waters continue to be taken recreationally at Pittville Pump Room, built for this purpose and completed in 1830. Cheltenham's success as a spa town is reflected in the railway station, which is still called Cheltenham Spa, and spa facilities in other towns which were inspired by or named after it.
Horse racing began in Cheltenham in 1815, and first became a major national attraction after the establishment of the Festival in 1902. Whilst the volume of tourists visiting the spa has declined, the racecourse now attracts tens of thousands of visitors to each day of the festival each year, with such large numbers of visitors having a significant impact on a town the size of Cheltenham.
Cheltenham is known for its horse racing. Cheltenham Racecourse, located in the suburb of Prestbury, is the home of National Hunt, or jumps, racing in the UK. Meetings are hosted from October to April. The highlight of the season is the Cheltenham Gold Cup, which is normally held in the middle of March, during the Cheltenham Festival. This co-incidence with Saint Patrick's Day ensures that the town swells with an influx of Irish horse racing devotees.
The local football teams are Cheltenham Town F.C., who have recently enjoyed success in The Football League and gained promotion to League One, and Cheltenham Saracens F.C., who are members of the Hellenic League Division One West.
Amateur rugby union clubs include Cheltenham Saracens RFC, Cheltenham North RFC, Old Patesians R.F.C., and Cheltenham Civil Service RFC. The Cheltenham Rugby Festival is a rugby league nines event held in May.
The town has had golf courses such as Cleeve Hill, Cotswold Hills, and Lilley Brook.
The original parish church of Cheltenham is St. Mary's Church, which is the only surviving medieval building in the town.
