Hot air balloon festival - Cheltenham Racecourse site
We had never been to Cheltenham before and with a hot air balloon festival scheduled for the weekend we decided to stop over for a long weekend. What a great location for motorhome owners, just 1-1/2 miles from the centre of Cheltenham, adjacent to a park and ride and just a short walk to the Gloucestershire Warwickshire steam railway station or to the Pittville Park with its attractions of lake, cafes and children’s playground. It is a great shame this racecourse site with its excellent views has so many severely unlevel pitches especially the hard standing ones with views. It is something I feel the Club should be emphasising in the site description, yet there is only a mention of this in the site's accessibility statement. In spite of the sloping nature of the whole site, without which we would not have had a grandstand view of the balloon festival, we would use this site again just for the excellent access it offers to local facilities. If you do decide to visit this site and want hard stadings, don't forget to bring a healthy collection of levelling blocks.
