About

Charlton Kings is a residential ward situated on the eastern edge of Cheltenham, bordering the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is primarily composed of suburban housing, ranging from larger detached homes to more modest terraces, alongside local shopping parades serving the community. It maintains a distinct identity separate from the town centre, with its own historical parish church and secondary school.

The landscape is characterised by its proximity to open countryside, with notable green spaces including the formal gardens of Lilleybrook and the playing fields of Charlton Kings Park. A network of footpaths leads directly into the scarp slopes of Leckhampton Hill, providing accessible walking routes with extensive views back over the town. This close integration with the rural fringe defines much of the ward's character.
