Set against the dramatic backdrop of the beautiful Five Valleys, Stroud is brimming with independent shops, cafés, and galleries, as well as a cinema complex and an award-winning weekly farmers market.

The Cotswold Way passes through Stroud, making it popular among walkers, as does the Stroudwater Canal. Overlooking the town, Rodborough, Minchinhampton, and Selsley Commons are enjoyed by walkers, horse-riders, paragliders, and anyone seeking locally-made Winstones ice cream.
