Cheltenham branch covers the spa town, its immediate environs and the area to the north
up to the boundary with the Worcestershire Association.
To the east is the North Cotswold and
Cirencester branches and south the
Gloucester branch. The westerly boundary, marked approximately by the M5, is with
the Tewkesbury branch. The branch boasts the lightest ring installed
in a church at Warden Hill on the outskirts of the town. The parish church in the centre of the town
can be difficult to find, being hemmed in by office buildings. No such problem afflicts the tower of
St Peter, Winchcombe (pictured) to the north.
