Green belt - Cheltenham Gloucester




* Areas highlighted in red do not show officially designated green belt, but green space separating conurbations. However, it is likely some or all of the space highlighted will be green belt.
* City centres tend to be lighter in colour in satellite images. The surburbs tend to show as dark grey, probably due to all the slate coloured house roofs.

* The areas were highlighted, often after zooming in closer to see where suburbs ended. In the screengrabs of this ratio it isnt always quite as clear.

The historic spa town of Cheltenham and the city of Gloucester have expanded so much they now nearly form one joined up urban area. If you look at the highlighted area, at its thinnest point, there is just two farm fields seperating them.
