One concert pianist comes down regularly from London, despite small audiences, because it is such a perfect place to play in. It is ideal for soloiists and small groups of musicians, but large orchestras tend to be overwhelming. Even a harpsichord can be perfectly heard at the back of the hall, which holds about 400. Its peak time is in the summer music festival where there are usually two concerts a day. In the rest of the year there may be one every week or two. As well as concerts arranged by Cheltenham Council, there is an active music society which invites name brand musicians to perform about once a month, and gets an audience of some 200. The Pump rooms are set in spacious beautiful gardens with mature trees and a pond, which go down nearly to the town centre, and makes roaming outside a real pleasure in the summer. Quality Interval coffee is served, plus an adequate bar with inadequate service. Free parking behind the hall. You can also get married there! What a wonderful setting.

There are lots of paths to follow, all sorts of open green areas to relax in and countless picture worthy locations. You'll also come across lots of cows roaming the area as well as birds and other wildlife. There's a fairly large parking area that accommodates a good amount of vehicles. A small visitor center area includes a small museum, which details some of the historical things one may encounter, a description of the wildlife in the area, and a brief history of the park, and how it came to be. Adjacent to the museum is a coffee shop that sells hot drinks, cold drinks, ice cream and a variety of snacks and gifts.

For the warmer months, there is a central picnic area as well as scattered benches throughout the park, and an ice cream van often visits the larger carpark. There are several trails marked out, or you can wander at will. There are some elements of historic interest if the visitors' centre is open, along with some information boards about the settlements which used to be there - some of which are marked out with posts in the ground. The big open area where the settlements used to be is now great for flying a kite - be warned on windy days, the site is mostly quite exposed and can be a lot windier and colder than lower ground! Fantastic views over Cheltenham and Gloucester on a clear day.

Hidcote is one of the National Trust's best-known gardens; as an example of an Arts & Crafts garden…read morelaid out to comprise different "rooms", it was influential in the design of many others. Hidcote was created by the American Lawrence Johnston. He and his mother frst moved to the UK in 1900, their wealth originating in the US stockbroking business. He became a naturalised British citizen, and fought with distinction in the Boer War, where he also became interested in the diverse flora of South Africa, as well as the First World War. His mother - Mrs Gertrude Winthrop - bought the Hidcote Manor estate in 1907, and Johnston immediately set about developing the gardens there, a project that lasted for 40 years, and including organising plant-hunting expeditions around the world. In the meantime, he also purchased a property in the south of France, and retired there permanently in 1948, at which point the National Trust acquired Hidcote. Today, the ground floor rooms of the Manor House are open to the public, and the adjacent mediaeval chapel is in use as a second-hand bookshop. But the main attraction is the 10 acres of gardens include a wide variety of planting styles, from intimate secret gardens with ponds and fountains, to dramatic lengths of herbaceous border, topiary, formal avenues of trees, and expanses of lawn. The renown of the garden is such that it regularly hosts the BBC's Gardeners' World TV programme. The garden is at its best in early summer, but there is interest year round. Note parts of the garden are at different levels, so there is no level access to all areas. The site includes a shop and cafeteria, serving the usual National Trust selection of light meals and cakes. There is a large car park across the lane from the Manor House.

It can get busy though, and with lots of children running around, it isn't quite as serene as it can be. Take plenty of time to visit this venue - it really is worth it.

Not to mention a fun gift shop that features brilliant children's toys, clothing and local artisan food treats like cheese, baked goods and snacks. There were so many things I loved about this stop. From interacting with the goats, sheep, cows, baby piglets (four days old!) to learning about the heritage breeds and surrounding countryside, this farm is full of educational opportunities and spots for kiddos to stretch their legs throughout. I especially appreciated the indoor sandbox , soft climbing space and interactive chick display. Several of the animals could also be found inside for up close experiences like rabbits, goats, and calves. The inner farm girl in me was soaking in every minute of the experience. Expect to pay around 15 pounds per adult for your visit. Note that they also have rustic (teepee/camping) accommodations available on site.

The only problem was that we had not rented a car, and public tranportation didn't run out that way, so we had to take a taxi. No big deal. The man was very nice and promised to come back and pick us up at 5pm, when the park closed. This place is owned by a local TV celebrity (although of course we didn't know who he was). The park is all about conservation of rare breeds of animals and farming. For Americans, this place is kind of like a big pumpkin patch (that you visit in the fall), but without the pumpkins. There are little rides for the children, lots of animals, and even a corn maze. There's also a gift shop.

My partner mentioned that there was a county cricket game and suggested we go over and see about paying in to watch the game for an hour or two. We got there and found an open gate that people were walking through, so we walked through as well. The place was not very full at all, but my it was impressive. The oval surface looked immaculate. The lovely day added to it, but you could see the place is maintained well. So we found the bar and ordered two pints. The bar staff were friendly and very polite. We stepped out and took two seats and marveled at the lovely view. A fabulous grounds and Worcester Cathedral in the backdrop. I have to be honest and say I am not the biggest fan of cricket. But my partner is and he is passing on his love of the game to me. Worcestershire were playing Yorkshire. It was lovely to be there, but as we had sneaked in, we decided it just wouldn't be fair to stay. So as soon as we had finished our pints and taken a few pictures, we were on our way. I can imagine myself being a member of the Worcestershire County Cricket Club someday... maybe when I have learned all the rules and fall in love with cricket as much as my partner has. But my visit to this club has definitely started me on my way
