Battledown is a quietly affluent residential quarter of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, characterised by tree‑lined streets and large Victorian and Edwardian villas set in generous plots. Much of the area was laid out from the 19th century as an estate with communal parkland, giving it a more suburban, park‑like feel than nearer the town centre.
Today Battledown remains largely domestic in character with few shops or industry, prized for its privacy and high property values; several roads are retained as private or managed by residents’ bodies. Its proximity to central Cheltenham means residents enjoy easy access to the town’s cultural offerings while living in one of its quieter, historically rooted neighbourhoods.
