Lonely Planet review for Holst Birthplace Museum
The composer Gustav Holst was born in Cheltenham in 1874, and his childhood home has been turned into a museum celebrating his life and work. The rooms are laid out in typical period fashion and feature much Holst memorabilia, including the piano on which most of The Planets was composed. You can also visit the Victorian kitchen, which explains what life was like 'below stairs'.
