Prestbury is a historic village on the northern edge of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England. It retains a compact medieval core of honey‑coloured Cotswold stone houses and an ancient parish church, with narrow lanes and a village atmosphere despite being only a short drive from the town centre and the rolling countryside of the Cotswolds.
The village is best known for sitting beside Cheltenham Racecourse, home to the annual Cheltenham Festival, which brings a seasonal buzz and many visitors; otherwise Prestbury is largely residential and locally serviced by independent shops, pubs and community groups, making it a sought‑after and generally affluent area popular with families and professionals who commute to nearby towns and cities.
