Overview

This is Cheltenham’s main municipal park to the North of the town, by the famous Pump Rooms. A good place to take the dog or the children or go for a stroll birdwatching. If you look carefully you may find a Cormorant, a Grey Wagtail or even a Treecreeper. In summer you can see chicks being reared by Swans, Mallards, Coots, Moorhens, Grebes and perhaps Green Woodpeckers. In winter there are occasional visits by Goosanders.
