Leckhampton Court is a medieval manor house dating from about 1320, built by the Giffard family of Brimpsfield.

Leckhampton Hill, together with Charlton Kings Common, is designated an SSSI by Natural England.

This was later superseded by a more substantial line joining the railway at Charlton Kings station, the lower route of which can be seen as a ridge across the golf course in the vicinity of Sandy Lane.

To the outrage of local people, he fenced off the area, closing footpaths and warning that anyone found on the land would be treated as trespassers.

He also built Tramway Cottage on Daisybank Road, a site that had been used to host a travelling funfair every Good Friday.

In March 1902, about 10,000 protesters tore down the fences and converged on Daisybank Road where they destroyed the cottage.

In 1929, Cheltenham Town Council bought the land on the hillside, making it available once more for public access.

The main shopping area for Leckhampton residents is the Bath Road, a mile or so north of the old village centre.

A newsagents shop on Old Bath Road was well known to be regularly used by the Queen Mother (or her Chauffeur) en route to Cheltenham Races, and was normally decorated with bunting in expectation of a visit.

The Charlton Lane Centre (dealing with Mental Health including dementia) is nearby, as well as a Leonard Cheshire home.

Leckhampton Court, adjacent to St Peter's Church, is a Sue Ryder hospice.

Near the top of Leckhampton Hill stands a noted limestone rock formation known as the Devil's Chimney.

The former railway line at Pilley Bridge is now a Cheltenham Borough Council nature reserve.
