Cheltenham’s most elegant parade of shops was built between 1840 and 1860. The shops are separated by 32 caryatids or stone pillars carved into female statues, based on similar figures on the Acropolis in Athens. Rossi, a sculptor in London, created the two figures that were used as moulds for the rest. Today, visitors can browse the many boutiques along the walk or eat and drink in its charming restaurants or cafés.
