Gloucester and Cheltenham Green Belt

Landscape features and facilities within the area include Staverton Airport, Cheltenham Racecourse, rivers Chelt, Swilgate and Hyde Brook, Imjin Barracks and MOD Boddington, several parks and woods, Briarfields campsite, Churchdown and Crickley hills, and the Church of the Holy Trinity in Badgeworth.

The green belt lies next to the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

No portion was defined within Gloucester as the city boundary is drawn tightly around the urban area.
