St Mark's is a compact, largely residential ward in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England, lying close to the town's core and reflecting the wider town’s Victorian expansion. The housing is a mix of terraces, interwar and post‑war properties, with local parades of shops, churches and community centres giving it a village‑like feel within an urban setting.
Historically shaped by Cheltenham’s growth as a spa town, the ward today is socially mixed and home to active residents’ groups and community projects; local council elections are often contested and community identity is strong despite its small size. Its convenient position means easy access to town amenities, while quieter residential streets and nearby green spaces make it popular with families and commuters alike.
