Edición en Inglés
This book is a guide to walking through the streets of Cheltenham. It is a delightful town, full of wonderful architectural gems, all of which have interesting stories to tell. It was a fashionable place to visit in Georgian and Regency England at a time of momentous change, when foreign kings ruled the country. It was when Britain successfully fought to be the leading player on the world stage, becoming modern and global in the process.
Fortunately the most interesting places to see can be covered on foot in a day or two. Don't rush. It is a town full of history, buildings, shops and many fine restaurants. You will find the locals are friendly and happy to chat.
I hope you enjoy the book and the photographs and most of all the town of Cheltenham.
