By bus
There are buses from Cirencester, Stroud and other local villages to Cheltenham once an hour. National bus services are also available. National Express stops at the Royal Well station behind The Promenade for easy links to London Heathrow and beyond. It is not possible to buy a ticket at the station outside of office-hours, so purchase online or by telephone.
By train
Frequent rail links to London Paddington, Bristol and the south and Birmingham and the north. The station is a little outside the metropolitan area. There is a regular bus service D or an easy walk through Montpellier into the centre 15-20 minutes. It's too far to walk if mobility is an issue, so take a taxi.
By car
The M5 reaches Cheltenham from the North and South and the A40 from the East from Oxford is also a useful transport link. Parking is rarely a problem now in Cheltenham, but the one way systems can sometimes get a little confusing. With this in mind a good option would be to use the Park and Ride facility National Park and Ride Directory (http://www.parkandride.ne...) you are planning a day at the races Cheltenham, has its own Racecourse Park and Ride (http://www.parkandride.ne...) facility. Alternatively, you can combine the races with a visit to the classic Cotswold town of Winchcombe and take a steam train from there to the racecourse [ (http://www.gwsr.com). There are special racegoer trains in Gold Cup week.
