Cheltenham Favorite Tips by coceng

Hobnails Inn...

Fondest memory: This is a photo of my 2 great friends around The Cotswold !
They guided me around The Cotswold, visiting many beautiful villages & me capturing many great sceneries around The Cotswold !
Patrick on the left; He's a counsellor...
Roger on the right; He's a painter.
Thank you very much Patrick & Roger for making my dream comes true, exploring around The Cotswold !

Outside Patrick's House In Cheltenham...

Fondest memory: Also on the Friday 11th June; Outside his house...
He was talking with his neighbour when I snapped this photo. Nice houses lined up the street.
On that morning, our first destination was Painswick; Sadly Roger couldn't join us because he had a painting exhibition on that evening...
By that time we would be in Oxford !

Patrick's Garden in Cheltenham...

Fondest memory: This photo was taken at Patrick's house, in his garden...
It was taken on the Friday 11th June as we were getting ready to explore The Cotswold on the 2nd day !
After breakfast, Patrick took some times to show me his garden & telling me about the plants, flowers & some birds that came into his garden...
I chose this corner of the garden for this photo because I loved that blue flowers that you can see on my right...

Hobnails Inn...

Fondest memory: Hobnails Inn is famous for its Hobnails Baps; A bap is a large bread with all kinds of ingredients in it...
I couldn't remember which bap I ate but I had a big full stomach when we left Hobnails Inn !

My Journey Started !

Fondest memory: When Roger came, I couldn't recognize him ! He looked different than his photo that I saw on the Net...; But it was Roger.
The plan was me & him to go to a little place called Little Washbourne; There should be a pub there where we could have lunch & meeting Patrick...The pub is called HOBNAILS INN.
This photo was taken on the road, going to Little Washbourne, which is on the B 4077 road which is near Tewsbury than Cheltenham.
Hence this photo was taken on the highway A 435.
Well, you must have the map of the area to know these roads...

On The A 435 Highway...

Fondest memory: Again, on the A 435 Highway...There are many scenes like the photo on the left & above if you drive along this highway !
I guess my heart was beating faster & faster as we drove along this road...The sceneries are just so amazing !
Well, if you like the so-called 'countryside' anyway...

Hobnails Inn...

Fondest memory: Now, we were in Hobnails Inn ! This is an old pub which has many stories along the years as it started business in the 1400's !

I took several photos for us all to see...

On The A 435 Highway...

Fondest memory: Hhmm, love this sight very very much !
The clouds, the fields...So enchanting !
There were many sights like this anyway on that day; I couldn't capture them all.
I just couldn't stop telling Roger how I loved the sceneries as he smiling all the way reaching Hobnails Inn...

Cheltenham Spa Train Station...

Fondest memory: Roger was a bit late...
Standing outside the station, there are 2 entrances !
Caught this flowers by the window; Thinking that I should take this memory with me forever !

Cheltenham Spa Train Station...

Fondest memory: This is Cheltenham Spa train station, taken by me as I just arrived from Bristol...
Coming here to explore the region called The Costwold !
I was waiting for my friend, Roger when I had the time to 'explore' the station itself !
