Charlton Kings Area Guide

Just one mile from the centre of Cheltenham, Charlton Kings is the perfect combination of rural and town, and with easy access to everything, is a handy village location to choose to settle in.

Keeping it local

Despite being just a short distance from Cheltenham, Charlton Kings still boasts its own broad variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, as well as fantastic transport hubs too. Cheltenham is easily accessible, as are Gloucester and Oxford via the A40.

Literary heritage

Whilst Cheltenham boasts the annual Literary Festival, Charlton Kings has its own supposed literary link, too, to none other than Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The story goes that a house in Cudnall Street inspired the author to write the story because of a mirror he saw in the house.
