A prosperous town for many centuries, Stroud today is a busy, modern shopping centre in the South Cotswolds. Yet it remains very much a country town whose main charms are steep hills and narrow streets. No fewer than five valleys converge on the town which is well served by road and rail.
The resident, let alone the visitor, can never hope to see everything. Even those of us who have lived in the district all our lives can still discover isolated countryside and spectacular views quite different from anything we've experienced before. There is a wealth of scenery unlike that anywhere else on earth. You can travel the world - across Europe to Asia, even to Australia and the Pacific, but in this spectacular part of the Southern Cotswolds you'll still catch your breath when discovering hidden valleys with quaint terraced villages where you step back in time. In contrast are the awe-inspiring panoramic views across the Severn Vale with its distant, forested backdrop.
