Your perfect idea for a date might involve fresh air, stimulating conversation, and perhaps a little bit of light exercise. Or, you might prefer sampling some tasty food and delicious drinks. Whatever gets you excited, you'll undoubtedly be able to find it in the charming town of Cheltenham.

Cheltenham couldn't be any more perfect for an outdoor date. With loads of stunning nature walking routes winding their way around the surrounding area, you're spoilt for choice if you want to take your date on a romantic hike. Why not consider taking a walk up Cleeve Hill? It's the highest point in Gloucestershire and it boasts spectacular views of Cheltenham town - perfect for sparking a romantic moment.

If you'd like to keep things in the town centre but still want to get some fresh air, then you could consider taking a stroll around the Imperial Gardens; a beautiful, well kept Regency- era garden situated between the Queens Hotel and the Town Hall. There's even a bar where you can enjoy a drink or two on a sunny day.

For a first date that allows you to get to know each other while enjoying something fun, you can't go wrong with dinner and drinks. There are loads of restaurants and bars in the town centre of Cheltenham to suit a wide range of people. Gin & Juice on the Promenade mixes up an especially good cocktail.

And finally, for something a little more lively, why not catch a stand-up show at The Strand's comedy club, or a gig at the Gloucester Guildhall, one of the UK's most interesting and diverse entertainment venues?
